Owned a CC Silverback for 12 years and it served us very well. The on-going debate between CC and Cardinal as to who is #1 has been around for awhile. Winner has been CC each time. Now of course some will argue much like Ford-GM and Ram. While we had the CC, anytime we had an issue or question, CC responded in a fairly quick manner. HOWEVER it seemed like in the past couple of years tho, the response hasn't been so great (IMO). When it came time for us to mull over a new unit, we liked many features in the Silverback line VS the Creek line. BUT there were some that were deal killers and factory just didn't seem to care. Factory rep I met at a couple shows, well he didn't impress me very much and I had him a few times for he had no clue whatsoever what CC did in the past. We would have liked to stayed w/ the CC line, but we found many more features and likes in our Big Country that CC just doesn't offer. Not saying CC is bad, but just not at this time for us.
