cougar 31rks or laredo 294rk?

I'm torn between the two trailers but have only seen the laredo. Frim what I've seen online the cougar looked to have the frameless windows and the bigger holding tank.

Anybody fill me in on the differences?
Also what exactly is included on the different packages?

I have the brochures, but some of the ones online that are the same year look different.

I'm looking to tow one of them with a 2008 silverado 1500. I am changing the gears to 4.11 and upgrading my WDH. What do you all think is the best WDH to get?

The Keystone website lists all the specs, floor plans, standard features and options for both of these units.

The information included on both the website and the brochures is not always up-to-date as last-minute changes often occur. It's best to confirm what is and what is not included with the dealership before you order. You don't want any "surprises" when it arrives on the lot and it isn't exactly what you expected.

I'd also go over your towing numbers for both the TT and the truck to make sure that your Silverado will be a good match for whichever TT you choose. Off hand, you may be very close to maxing out the truck.

Would I be better off with a fifth wheeler. I've always had bumper pulls but the dealer is saying I would like the fiver better.
How can you find out what the max weight is?

rooti: You should check with your Chevy dealership on the max towing for your truck. Then match that number up to the TTs your looking at. I had a 2003 Silverado 5.3 and got a new truck to tow the Laredo 294RK. You want to make sure the numbers are correct.
