Walmart? Their Chinese stuff is better than the Chinese stuff at Harbor Freight. They actually carry Reese products (at least here in Topeka).

Does Julie know you know what Walmart Topeka carries?
+1 on Walmart for trailer stuff. Surprising how much they have.
Best prices on RV stuff I've found is out near you off Tyler and the 91. CD RV parts center. They have a website. I'll let you google it. I'm on crippled computer mode. Not sure how complete their basic towing stuff is. They are a mail order place with a will call desk that usually has your order next day.

Thanks David, Steve. Hadn't thought Walmart; hardly ever go there. I'll check out the place in Riverside.Steve Ekstrand wrote:Does Julie know you know what Walmart Topeka carries?

Bob, I got most of my stuff for all four trailers---Leonard you need one---at Home Depot. They have all the Reese stuff.

Isn't there supposed to be a chrome plating on the ball to keep that from happening? Where'd that go?Bob Beamesderfer wrote:Only the ball. And it's rusty.

Re: Best local place to find towing accessories?
Somehow I got signed on as a jobber for the entire Rigid Hitch line of products. I don't sell any of the parts but I have a catalog. If someone needs some parts I can look it up, order it, etc. for jobber price plus shipping, sales tax, and lunch money for me. It might not be any cheaper then Wal-Mart because there are jobbers and then there are JOBBERS.
