    Dual Fuel or Remote Start Generator?

    If you get a campion your camping neighbors will hate you, VERY noisey. The nice thing about LP is the fuel won't go bad after setting for along period of time. Which can be a big plus. My first generator was a China knock off Honda, looked good on paper (cost less). My advice is buy a Honda...

    Andersen weight distribution hitch

    No experience with an Anderson. If I was going back to a tongue pull trailer I would use the Equal-i-er which provides weight distribution and sway control. Made in Provo Ut. Had this set up on my last tongue pull and loved it. Almost as good as a 5th wheel.

    Battery Life

    JMO, but I don't think you will get much of a charge from the TV. But, you can us the TV battery to run the slides in and out.

    Faucets do not work with pump working and tank full on 3270RES.

    My last dealer de-winterizing experience was very similar. I now do my own winterizing and de-winterizing. It's easy takes less than 15 mins and two bottles of RV anti freeze. No more Larry, Moe and Curly for me.

    Do You Tie Down Your Awning

    The nice thing about an electric awning, its easy to extend and retract. I do have a shade cloth that rolls up in the electric awning. Haven't had any problems to date.

    Tail gate on or off

    I believe all of these test when done without a 5th wheel attached. I wonder how the addition of the trailer effects the wind flow in the truck bed. I use the V shaped tail gate cause I'm lazy.

    Idaho: Boise to Lewiston

    We do the drive from Pocatello, Id to Missoula, Mt twice a year. It's a very easy drive. If you do go this way stop at the School House in Dell, Mt for Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner. Fabulous food.

    II has been a long time since I traveled that road, and Yes their are a few switchbacks and steep grades. But, it's a very pretty drive. Shouldn't be a problem if you can take your time.

    Prices on used...

    I just bought a used GMC duramax, 2006 with 95000 miles. Payed $25,0000 about 35% of a new one. I'm happy. But your right they do want a lot for a new or used truck.

    Finally - swapping out my 12 volt for the 6 volt pairs

    Never thought about the weight of my batteries and just assumed that the front compartment would carry the weight. Guess what I'll be looking at tomorrow.

    Tow vehicle

    Speaking from the sales side, give him a week. And make sure you are getting a good hitch. He needs your sale more than you need his trailer. Good luck.
