I don't know about your area, but around here both TT's and 5'vers are flooding the lots just like the pickups have been. I think the panic sell off is over but if you are in the market for a decent 2-4 year old RV, you'll have plenty to choose from. I would like to upgrade my hitch to the full pivot variety but it's low on the list right now.

That is very nice. I had a B&W goose ball first so I went with the companion they make for it. 4 way pivot is the only way to go. Keeps the weight on the back axle even and eases the stress on suspension parts.

I pull a 2-horse slant bumper-pull trailer once in a while and have never experienced any problems. Took it to Florida and back last year. Don't know how different it is pulling a t.t.
Not to hi-jack but I was at the show last week also. Did you camp across the road?

I like my bumper pull 30 ft camper, it barely influences the mileage!

These new 5ers they make now are sure dang nice, but more than i need, and Like i said, my bumper pull camper barely burns any extra fuel. My truck burns approx 10.5 liters an hour at 100 km/h (60mph) and about 12 liters per hour pulling the camper.


I might consider a 5th wheel setup if I were retired and camping every day, but I aint gonna have a ******* of a hitch in the way 90% of the time just to make pulling a camper "more easy" once in a while.

I saw those, down on the arena floor right? Not to bad of price but I saw on another web site a bigger genaretor for less $. But I guess you get what you pay for.

Did you eat down by Camping word in the Giant Center? After looking at your Picture by your name I think I saw you there. Looks like the couple that sat almost right beside us at the tables to eat at.

The EU200i is a great little generator. Super quiet, 8-10 hrs on a gallon of gas.You can lift & carry with one arm, reliable & clean power for computers & such. You can use 1 to run the camper, but if you want to run the A/C most buy 2 and the parrellel cable. I've waited for 2 years to catch them on sale somewhere, no luck.

That part of the reason I am looking foward to the move to South Dakota - sure got hot as hell in Southwest, Oklahoma during the summer! During summer camping trips down here I sounded like a broken record....shut the damn door, shut the damn door, shut the damn door..........
