New owner in SC

We just purchased a 2010 R-Pod 176T. Pick it up on Wed. Towing with a 2005 Dodge Dakota with V-8. Any input to the setting up and using of the Tent would be apreciated. It did not come with a mattress for the tent area, so need to know what works best. Will only be the wife and myself and our sheltie using it. Did buy a Champion 3500 generator for the back of pick up. I think it will be a great fix considering we are upgrading from a teardrop.

Thanks. Do you know of any link for the Tent setup.

I belive someone here posted a video of the setup, I'll have to look around.

Outbackdave- Just noticed your sig....you have a V-strom!
2004 DL1000 V-Strom here, which I don't get to ride near enough!
Love hitting the twisties up in WNC.

Got a postcard from Suzuki last week touting the new redesigned V-Stroms-   wow- they've gone up 50% since I bought mine 10 years ago

Is the tongue jack the interferer with the tailgate?
3 bolts and it is off quick.  1 min off, 1 min on...quick easy cheap workaround if that is the issue.
I've permanently moved the jack on many trailers over the years because of tailgates...

A hitch extension can work too if you are careful about weights and what length and construction the extension is, as well as the truck hitch.
Heck I used to haul a 20 ft enclosed trailer behind my F350 with a large Jayco slide-in camper....that extension was about 4 ft!    But that truck has a very heavy rated 2.5" receiver and I made steel braces  welded to it attaching back to the truck to beef it up.
