Hello Everyone !
Just wanted to let you all know how much all your info has helped me on my decisions over the last 2 months. You really don't know how grateful we are that you take the time to help new RVers make a smart decision.
My wife and I just purchased our first 5th wheel ( 2006 Jayco Eagle 281 RL ) and can't wait to get going. I will be pulling it with an F250 SD SB and will be having an Reese 18,000 Slider installed in the back. Since this is our first RV we decided it was in our best interest to purchase a used one instead of new.
One question I have is does anyone have any problem with ordering a hitch and having your local garage install it. RV dealership seemed a little high on the price with installation and I saved about 600.00 doing it this way. Please let me know what you think.
Also any other info you may have or concerns I should be aware of concerning warranties and insurances would be appreciated.
Thanks for everything and see you on the road !
Frank
