All- Anyone know where I can get a replacement window. The window is the small fixed rectangular window located below the operable window in my 70 31' sovereign. Also anyone know of information re: removal/installation or am I better off just calling a auto window repair company? Thanks.

I would have gone the 2500 model for that extra bit of control and safety (stronger axles, suspension, brakes). I tow my 26' Overlander with both a '99 Dodge Durango, and a '97 Chevy 2500 pickup. The Durango requires a load leveling hitch for control (cinched down hard), but the 3/4 ton Chevy handles the a/s without equilizer and is very stable in strong cross winds. You may also have to strengthen the rear suspension of your Suburban. The rear springs may be twisting under the cross wind conditions. Some rear air shocks or helper springs may correct this. > Randy Unter > '66 Overlander > Denver > > > We returned home on Sunday from a three week trip with the A/S starting in > > Houston, TX through San Antonio and Fredicksburg TX, Tucson and Flagstaff > > AZ, and Santa Fee NM.
