Good. I've had too many employees rip our companies off to not think the way I do. Why don't you buy the Silverado? If they sell it, you'll be without a TV! LOL

That's unfortunate. I've always been loyal to the companies I've worked for until they do me wrong big time, then I start looking elsewhere.
The reason I won't buy it is because I almost always have access to one. My friends, relatives, etc. who all have stuff I can borrow.
Once I have my camper payed off and I have all the cash in hand I might buy a TV.

I love having a parts department at my job. I went back there and asked them, they were able to look it up and give me a ball. $12.78

Yeah. My daughter works at an auto parts store that supplies most of the repair shops around here. Have gotten a few things from them. And as some of the guys working there are retired auto industry mechanic types, can get some advise too.

Yes to the heading out, nowhere special. Headed to Winton Woods campground. I grew up around that area in Greenhills before it went down hill. The school I went to Our Lady of the Rosary had camp outings and I went with my family but all we had was a tent, I envyed the others who had TT's and PUP's. Now I can play with the big dogs

Know what you mean, we have really enjoyed our upgrade from the tent for several years now. Have fun and enjoy.

2 5/16" is what it should be, but check your owners manual and any markings on the tongue.
A 2" ball will SEEM like it is working in a 2 5/16" tongue, but can come unhitched VERY easily.

The HW296 needs a 2" ball. It is even stamped on the coupler.

Thanks, Bob. I would figure that a heavy trailer like that would have the bigger ball. I guess they only use them on big TTs and HTTs, then. Time to do a little research!

My personal favorite 5th wheel. I got to talk to this guy! This camper is awesome. Too bad there around 100,000! Need to play the powerball for that level of 5th wheel!

Simple, yet very nice. I like this! Wouldn't be opposed to something like this in 10-15 years.

Too noisy. If you are going to get an RV, get a diesel class A. The front-engined RVs are loud inside. They are shiny, though!

What makes them so different though? Materials?

What do you mean by different?
The diesels are pushers, so the engine is in back and there is significantly more sound insulation.
The workmanship and materials on the expensive ones are very different, but on the "less expensive" class As it appears to be the same &*#$ that they make TTs, HTTs, and class Cs with... Sigh.
