My lights are already LED (yay!), must be a 2017 model change. But I definitely plan on the battery operated puck lights as well as the 3M hooks. I might have to wait until I'm in the unit a couple...

First "mod" done!

My husband bought me a power hitch for Christmas which included installation by the dealer. I was going to try to live with the crank for a season or two before deciding whether or not to splurge. ...

Sorry I've been MIA folks ... holidays and hockey tournaments make life a bit busy!

It's a 2012 Kia Sedona with a listed 3500# capacity. The terrain around here is pretty level and I paid close attention to my tach while towing the trailer home.

My plan is to keep it bare bones...

I didn't feel any lightness in the front. How would a potential problem 'feel'?

The dealer did install a very beefy WDH ... and it was very steady whilst towing. Drove about an hour up a two lane...

So there's no turning back now!

Got it hooked, did some maneuverability in a parking lot and got it to its new home (and successfully unhooked)!

(Oh, and updated my registry as well ... I'm...

And, if I recall correctly, the waste is near the rear. I'll have to look this weekend and see which side of the axles they're on. Should make for an interesting weight shift from pre-trip to...

Even with full water tank, battery weight and full propane? The dry weight (per mfr) makes it run over 10%. Add over 200 pounds of water (at least with the 16FB) and you're probably closing up on...
