	Doonan Truck makes conversions of Class 8 trucks into RV Haulers. Kenny was a Teton dealer before the demise of Teton, so Kenny also had recommendations for fifth-wheel trailers, primarily on having well sized tires.

	Henry Szmyt, the president of ET Hitch, came to talk about his hitch that was specifically designed for the HDT truck. The ET Hitch uses four air bags and totally suspends the hitch plate on air.
	Henry also talked about his ET Jackalopee, a device to simplify the connection of an RV trailer to the HDT trailer wiring. Basically, the ET Jackalopee converts the separate Turn and Brake signals in the truck trailer wiring to the combined Stop/Turn signals that an RV trailer uses. According to Henry, the relays used in the ET Jackalopee are more reliable than the semiconductor based Hoppy converter.
