I know can lift it with one finger. It's so easy to lift, I was afraid it was going to open by itself, when traveling, or even when stopped. My wife wouldn't use it at first because it was so hard to lift and prop up. Now she puts all kinds of stuff in there.&nbsp;]]>

Some dealers give you a "starter kit" that usually contains a few cheap items. My dealer gave us a 50 dollar credit to buy things in their store. It doesn't go far. In the walk thru, have them show you everything, ask them to show you what is behind the panels, under the fridge, in the pantry, in the bathroom. Have them show you where the water pump is. You will need to know all those things after you leave, so find out on the walk thru. I always recommend new tires, Load Range&nbsp; E, a hardwired EMS, and a water pressure regulator, before doing anything. Theres alot more, but that's a good start.&nbsp;</span></div><div><span style=": rgb251, 251, 253;"><br></span></div>]]>

Great tow rating at 7700 lbs. You should be fine, even with the extra battery if you decide to go that route. Just spend some time getting the wdh and brake controller set up correctly, and practice some backing in a quiet parking lot, you should be good to go!<div><br></div><div>Have fun!</div>]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="https://www.rpod-owners.com/member_profile.asp?PF=10371" rel="nofollow">NateB</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 13699<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 25 Jun 2020 at 7:40am<br /><br />Thanks for the reply!  My tow vehicle is a 2017 Porsche Cayenne.  I just installed a Teconsha P3 brake controller. I have an Andersen WD hitch on order.  I don’t have a lot of towing experience, but I will make sure to get the tongue weight in the appropriate range, and keep speeds reasonable.  I had a Sprinter camper van for many years, so I am comfortable moving a lot of weight.<br /><br />Thanks again,<br /><br />Nate]]>

Let the dealer know in advance what you expect to see when you go pick up the trailer.<div><br></div><div>You won't get a manual, there is none. Re the battery, this is a dealer installed item. Typically you get one 12V battery.&nbsp; If you are going to camp without hookups you should request dual batteries. 2 6V golf cart (GC2) batts are the largest that will fit. The dealer will expect to be compensated for the difference in price of course. Note that this will increase your tongue weight by about 70-80 lbs.</div><div><br></div><div>You don't mention your tow vehicle or previous towing experience but you will need a brake controller and probably a weight distribution hitch.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>You should do a prepurchase inspection, there are usually workmanship issues on these trailers as they come from the factory. someone here will provide you a link to a checklist, I don't have one handy.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Have fun!</div>]]>
