^^^Nice trailer man!

We've been kind of looking at them a little for when we start doing some traveling. It's a few years away still, but I didn't realize how far they'd come.

I'd recommend new or lightly used. They surprisingly hold their value well and have came a long way interior design wise. That is a 2004 Jayco Jayflight 29FBS. It is a lot of work fully loaded for the 03 2500HD 6.0 Chevy though. Been offered $10k for it, so that lets you know how well they hold their value.

I was originally going to drive it this winter as it does very well with the Conti DWS 275/40/19 tires. Dad offered me a storage unit option at the last second as he was putting his convertible and our camper in it and originally he thought he was putting our boat in it too but we negotiated cheap winter storage with the marina so there was extra room for my car. It all worked out well

I have the 03 2500HD Silverado, 06 Grand Prix, and now a 2015 Kia Optima to fart around in in the winter.

Stupid LS1.... cleaned the car for the first time in forever (super warm day today, hit almost 60) and the rear seemed to have more oil residue than expected. Must be the high RPM / low loads that it frequently sees... good news is dirty butt is gone for now.
