Glad to hear that there was no fireball or mushroom cloud emanating from your TT.

I had faith in you that there would not be.

Thank you everyone for your kindness and support. It wasn’t so bad. Just be smart. Take it slow and easy. Leave enough distance in between. Not as bad as i thought!!

Congrats on the new trailer and the drive home. We picked up our first TT 3 years ago and absolutely love it. One thing I will mention. Our dealer setup our WDH (weight distribution hitch) and brake controller just fine for the empty trailer. However, once we had the trailer loaded, it just didn't feel quite as comfortable. I've adjusted our E2 WDH twice, and the difference is night and day. I would recommend you understand how to adjust and WDH, and reset it after you get it loaded.
Have fun, best decision we ever made.

I know, but some forums don't have the capability to post pictures, which is where a third party hosting site comes in handy. Even on this forum I find it's easier to bring pictures over from postimages.

I find that i make mountains out of mole hills all the time.



The first time i towed the camper over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge i could not sleep the night before i was so concerned about it - getting through the toll plaza mess, the bridge height, my rig length, the cars, not wanting to get shuttled over to the one lane on the west bound span going east..... When i got onto the Bridge, well it was not as bad as my mind made it out to be (as long as i remind myself to BREATH).

The Chesapeake Bay Bridge made me extend my vacation one year, as it was too windy to cross with the motor home. No complaints, I did a few extra nights with the kids!
