Hello Charlie (and anyone else that reading in for the first time!), welcome.
I bought an Anderson wdh and haven't regretted it. Just follow the directions provided (as well as go over the info available on this site regarding loading your trailer safely and ensuring you have 12 to 14% tongue weight...even with a wdh). Once it is all set up properly it is easy to attach/disconnect. One thing we added to our wdh is some Rock Stoppers. Personal choice, plenty of people wouldn't, just adding it here in case you hadn't thought of it. I don't like my tires throwing rocks behind me as they are a fairly aggressive tread. Another Anderson item we got and we love is the trailer leveler blocks..one piece looks like the Amazon logo, Thin at one end and thicker at the other. It works well with our electronic level indicator and getting the trailer leveled/positioned. Just carefully drive onto the tapered block and my electronic leveler tells me when I am level side to side via the app on my phone. No more jumping in and out of the truck repeatedly. Drive safe and have a great summer! Andy |

Good morning and congratulations on your purchase. Do you still have your Casita? I've been looking for one, my wife and I are going the other (smaller) direction.⁷

Good morning, My name is Joel and my wife, Jennifer, will be picking up a 2022 R Pod 180, in a week or so. We just bought a Casita and found that it is just a bit small for us and we really liked our friends 180. Did some searching and found a new one in Ohio. A bit of a drive from central Texas but not a biggie. I have been camping my entire life and look forward to the new rig.

There are several out there, some free and some subscription. We use Road Trippers and Allstays. Of course Google Maps is pretty good as well.

Hard to beat a Garmin unit for navigation. It doesn't need cellular data or even a cellular signal to work. Some areas are very much lacking in cell service, so you don't want to be out somewhere and your maps can't update because you don't have a signal.
Campgrounds? There are lots of apps, but my go-to app is RV Parky. It helps find not just campgrounds, but also places to boondock.
