Congrats on the new HTT!  ;D

Thanks Carl!  ;D

I just ordered a new 2007 Travel Star 23SBS.  I also purchased from the dealer a WD hitch, Sway bar, and Brake controller.  My truck doesn't have a reciever assembly.  Do I need to buy one of these from the Chevy dealer or is it included with the WD hitch I purchased from the dealer? Thanks for...

80% of my GVWR is 4,960lbs --- basically 5k for a trailer.  My wife mentioned a hybrid as an option  :-[ something I haven't even considered.  I have a couple of questions, since I don't have a camper yet, and haven't been to a campground - are hybrids prelevant in campgrounds?  How long does...

Sorry, guess I forgot to introduce myself.? My wife and I are in the process of buying our first RV.? I've been asking on and off for 19 years, so I guess persaverence pays!? :)? We are from Northern California, Concord to be exact.? We've done a lot of internet research and finally have gone to...

DW and the kids and I went to a RV dealer yesterday.  We have been looking for 3-4 weeks on the internet for models and floorplans.  We figured it was time to go to the dealers and see the TT in person. We were only looking had no plans of buying.  We are going to wait a few more weeks and visit...
