Thanks for the link for the SowRiver history. I've not seen that since owning mine since 2004. I had two years of research finding the SnowRiver and finally driving from NE north carolina to pick it up at five star rv. I felt then the first time seeing, that this camper was quality. We spent nine days on that adventure and 17 years later I've not incountered one issue with the slide the frame work or water intrusion. I've done my part to store it right over the years. It would be my choice today if they were still in business. I made a little bit of history myself on that trip as I was told by Bob himself to be the first customer with a SnowRiver east of the Mississippi. Barry
