New owner Roo 21BD

Just picking up our new 21bd tomorrow and excited to do so. Any recommendations regarding break in period or modifications we should do to enjoy our trailer. Would love your opinions regarding:
1. Do I need to get a stabilizer system. I know they are safer but do I NEED one?
2. Seems like the additional 1 year warranty for $150 is a good deal. Any opinions on this product?
3. Is it worth getting the full cover for the Roo to keep it protected from the elements?

Thanks,
SDW

1. Yes
2. Up to you. I've not needed it; others have. Cheap insurance if you aren't handy fixing things yourself.
3. Personal preference. On my Roo 19, I felt it would help prevent any bunk leakage, but I only did it over the winter - uncovered during summer, so I guess I never really needed it for leakage protection.

1. What do you mean by "stabiler system". A WDH or a stabilizing system for the trailer jacks?
2. HECK YEA!
3. That's a personal choice. Some swear by them, so don't.
