I not real good at placing imfo in the proper spot in this forum , just want to suggest to people that are looking for a unit , Myself and the Wife were looking for a fifth wheel for several years , on traveling around the western and middle states we looked for R V factories and did tours. We did about 4 tour's and really got soom education ,granted Ive had a fifth wheel and motorhome prior so I already kinda knew what size we needed , and also we also looked @ craig's list , we ended up with a 91 snow bird 27' (nuway) we love it and we have had a lot of upgrades and replacements . But thats what we did, no regrets ! and we pull it with a 4 door long bed F350 diesel 2012 single axel Ford I feel we are well matched for what we need , but anyway I just wanted to pass it on take your time and look alot dealer's and and ask alot of people as you can , Hope this Post helps somebody Thanks Mike/Valerie
