You were right, Toppers didn't have both of remotes together. Enjoy your trip in November. Our first trip will be at Livingston with the in laws, can't wait.

I pull mine with a 4.2L Trailblazer and don't have any issues. I wouldn't mind a little more go, but it pulls fine. You'll have no problems at all.

Where at Livingston? We've camped at the State Park and Wolf Creek. Like 'em both, but the State Park can be a little hairy to park in. With your smaller trailer it shouldn't be so bad, but still...

Okay so I went for my travel trailer class on Wednesday. Was kind of debating whether to tow the trailer home. When I was going outbound there was a 18 wheeler turned over in the freeway blocking all inbound lanes. So I finished the class and it started pouring rain on me, it was also foggy, windy and a lot of traffic still from the 18 wheeler wreck. Then my check engine light came on and my truck was getting hotter than normal. So I went through traffic and went back to the dealer, their going to hold it for me. So took it to the shop and had a bad electrical valve and the radiator was out of water. So I spent 380 on Wednesday for service for replacement valve and new radiator tomorrow, after already spending 300 at the dealer for add-ons. So basically I was already nervous about towing it home and just about everything that could of went wrong, did. Spent 800 for repairs in all lol. We pick up today. Here's a link to the wreck Highway 290 inbound lanes reopen at Hegar after big rig wreck | Home - Home

Thank you, I got it home today. It was easy on the truck, 65 on 2,000 rpms @ 14 mpg. I backed it up really good but only had three inches on both sides to fit it in the garage Got it in there but think we will need other storage. I"ll try to get some pics up tomorrow.
