Cedar Creek & Silverback
Is the Silverback just less "fancy" than the Cedar Creek?

We have a '06 SB 33LBHTS and it's been a great RV. Though we are down to 1 child VS 2 traveling w/us, it still serves the purpose. No major probs w/ it in 10 years of owning it. Both dealer and CC have been great if anything came/comes up. The SB is of same quality/materials and workmanship as CC but at a lower price due to some things not being std (sort of like a Ford Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis). As much as we'd like to upgrade to a new RV, sadly, neither CC or SB offers nothing that triggers our fancy and though another FR RV does, price diff is making our SB look pretty good.
This is our 1st ever RV and before buying, asked a lot of questions, looked at what was at campgrounds/dealers lots, read up on mfr's. All said and done, CC/SB won out. As told to us when we were looking, find a floorplan you like, then evaluate EVERYTHING throughout the coach to see what you like/don't like. If there are several things that you don't like, don't say "We will make it work"----you won't be happy. Went to Hershy RV show and looked at upwards of 20 BH 5ers w/ notebook in hand (both wife and i had one). Wrote down likes/dislikes of each we went in, then made a spread sheet to compare 'em. Wife knew what she was looking for and so did I. CC/SB had them all. Unit sits outside next to garage in sun all summer and inside storage barn during the winter. Still looks great and no decals issues. Waxed each spring. Overall, very happy w/ the SB. FWIW, everything is still orig and working except tires (replaced as needed) and axles which CC replaced due to bent axles and I added Equi-Flex susp.
