Any RV'ers around here?

What everybody else already said....

Bought our 1st 5th in 2006. Was 30ft Rockwood by Forest River. Loved it. 4 years ago we decided we needed more permanent bunks as the kids are getting bigger. We now have a 35 ft Raven by Sunnybrook/Winnebago 5th. I like it, but not quite as much as the 1st one. The creature comforts and build are wonderful, but at 30 ft behind my quad cab 2005 Ram, the 30ft just "fit" everywhere - the driveway, my street, campgrounds, maneuverability.... The additional 5 ft made a big difference. Haven't had any issues, but it just doesn't "fit" like the 30ft did.

Chinese tires - 3 years and about 5k miles on the Rockwood and I had to put tires on it. Noticed a large bulge of a broken belt after arriving in Myrtle Beach that summer. Read up on the tires and decided NOT to take a chance on the spare to get home on. I'll be putting tires on the 35er this year, before they get to that point.

I'm at the factory weight rating on my 2500 , if we were to max load the camper. I did install a Helwig helper spring just to keep the truck level when loaded for a 2 week trip. Tows beautifully. Always has.
