New weekend warriors with a TT

I have a 4 terminal power block on the floor under the watchdog. Will only take me about <5 minutes to just disconnect watchdog and reconnect to power block.
I got to do just a little more work but im ok with it
 
Is your Ram a 1/2 or 3/4 ton and how does it do? I have the exact same trailer and will be pulling it with my 1/2 Ram. It has the 3.94 differential and towing capacity of 11,200lbs.
 
Its a 1/2 ton. I have timbrens underneath. Upgraded front rotors and pads. Make sure you get your WDH re-adjusted if dealer put it on with trailer as is. On the average i carry 15-25 gallons of water total. My only issue right now is bounce and I about to readjust the hitch.
I have towed it from Delaware to Northeastern Pa with no truck issues.

No truck issues? That's good to hear. I'll be pulling mine from Illinois to Arizona this winter. I bought a new WD hitch when I bought the camper and they adjusted it to my truck so hopefully it will pull straight. I've been considering putting air bags on my truck but haven't decided yet. With the factory Ram integrated trailer braking system I wouldn't think I would need to upgrade my brakes and rotors but I'll see how it does on my maiden voyage.
 
Just take your time. Its a long trailer. I dont exceed 65mph at all. 18 wheelers will push like a sail.
Im on the fence about bags. I have to wait till WDH adjustment then that will decide.
Be safe and good luck
 
Thank you!! One more question.....since we both have Ram 1/2 tons pulling the same camper what kind of mileage can I expect??
 
WANTED TO LOVE THIS TRAILER BUT...KITCHEN SINK WAS INOP ON OUR FIRST TRIP OUT. HAD TO HAVE REPLACED-3 WEEKS OLD. TANKLESS WATER HEATER BLEW OUT SECOND TRIP OUT, TRIED USING FRESH WATER TANK AND THE WATER PUMP IS NOT WORKING, MAIN SLIDE SITS TO LOW WHEN OUT ETC... SO, MIND YOU THIS TRAILER IS LESS THAN 3 MONTHS OLD, 2 TRIPS AND BEEN IN THE SHOP MORE THAN OUR DRIVEWAY. ON TOP OF THAT THEY SAID WATER HEATER WAS NOT COVERED. WOULD NEVER REC THIS COMPANY OR TRAILER TO ANYONE. CUSTOMER SERVICE ISNT THE BEST EITHER, DEPENDS ON WHO YOU SPEAK WITH.

Just a side note, I have the plug in system that goes at the pedestal. The last place I was at, the unit I have would not pass power. I found a crappie breaker, fixed it and checked the power seven ways to sunday! result was that the power was fixed and OK and the protector had given up it's life so I needed to get it replaced by the MFR which happened in two days (I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PROGRESSIVE BECAUSE OF THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE)...

Anyway, the end result is that I needed to plug into the ped directly and wait for the replacement unit. My question to you is if that happens to you, would you have a way to bypass the unit and still operate?

Sry Im way late in responding to this. So if I have a problem i can switch to bluetti. I have a post about a bluetti 300 that i installed for boondocking.

Added Bluetti AC300 with 2 B300 in closet of Kodiak Ultimate 3371FLSL for off grid camping

Placed in closet where washer/dryer goes. Reinforced the shelving for the 220lbs Ran DC wiring from fuse box to AC300. Disconnected the Converter. Ran AC wiring using a 50Amp extension cord, added it to switch along with outside cord that ran to surge protector. Can switch from Outside...
