Shoe,

I believe that has to do with the towing package. Towing package has the sway bar, the trailer electrical hookups and I think, but I am not sure, an extra leaf spring. Somebody correct me if any of this is wrong.

I have the rear sway bar, but I thought we all did?
Never knew I had a camper package. Guess I should buck up and go camping sometime then huh?

Correct. Mine has both the camper and towing pkgs.

The camper pkg includes the front and rear sway bars and the extra leaf spring. Also, both have the higher output alternator and the towing pkg has the brake controller pigtail under the dash and the rear plug.

P.J., come on down and we'll go camping a discuss politics, religion and civil rights.

HA! I think I'll pass, got a feeling a few beers later and I might never come back out of the woods! (seeing that we are so "aligned" on those topics)
Last time I was in Texas it was like 104* for 10 days straight, Were getting into the high 40's at night here now.

Well, it's an open invatation anyway. Believe-it-or-not, I do respect your opinions.

Only in the mid 90's the past few days, but relief is in site. If we could just get some rain........
