I bought a popup to use for hunting .... It's a jayco and it has some age to it but seems to be all there. i couldn't find any rotten wood or evidence of leaks, but i'm sure i will run into needing parts and stuff for it.....
My questions..

I need a hitch....I'm very mechanical and i've put them on trucks before....but who has the best prices in the Pinellas County area? I can get a class 3/4 that bolts on to the frame at Auto Zone for $249, i'm just clueless as to where to shop for them.

jayco parts....any local dealers or web sites that are good for parts and stuff. I'm sure i will be replacing tires, doing the wheel bearing check and lube or replacement thing...
I'm sure someone has purchased a fixer upper and can point me in the right direction.

You can get a hitch installed with wiring and all for less than $300 at a Uhaul place

I have set up my jeep so I can flat tow it to camp. Northern Freight had some cheap versions of an emergency tow light set with weak magnetic bases (bad reviews). I decided to spend a little extra money and bought the ones at Lowes (Petersons brand I believe). They worked great, the magnets are strong (no fear of them falling off) and I carry them in my truck in case I ever have issues with the lights on my boat trailer.
