Yeah, IMO, that "other" web site leaves a little to be desired.

Elite = Cadillac = heavy = tons of options/upgrades available

Mobile = Buick = lighter = fewer options/upgrades available

Select = Chevy = lightest = fewest options/upgrades available

I can tell you the weight of our '06 unit, but it will no doubt be different than an '09, and will vary depending on the options you choose. Ours was 16,540 pounds, completely empty, but equipped with granite counters and steps.

As for the "best"...kinda depends on what your definition of best is. Best price ? Best service ? Best personality ? These are all subjective and can vary depending on the economy, your ability to negotiate, inventory on hand, etc.

We were satisfied with our transaction with:
Customer First RV, in Memphis, IN, but we've never been back, and couldn't tell you whether they are still in business.

My suggestion is to keep asking questions, and visit the dealers of your choice, to form your own opinion. This 5th wheel forum site gets a ton of traffic by DTV owners, some on the rv.net site and some on escapees site.

Good luck

Regards
