Is it still hooked to the truck?
Is it level?
You wanna make sure it is level before extending the slide out. Also just me maybe but I wouldn't have it in the street with the slide out extended.
There are some less than careful drivers out there.

Lookin good though. Congrats on the new toy!!

Have a great time with it. We have the bug big time. Leaving Monday 13th for Az for a family thing, then I hope I don't come home for a month. C'mon weather, be good to me. *LOL*

I see you're TV is a Tacoma. Have you had any issues with that? My husband and I are picking up our first TT (a 2109s) on Wednesday. Our TV will be a Tacoma, and we are wondering how it will do if we head to the mountains.

No problems at all. My Tacoma has the tow package.

I have a weight distribution hitch with sway control. That's a must! Also, you need a brake controller. The Tekonsha P-3 is awesome! Plug and play if your Tacoma has the tow package.

I imagine it's going to be a different story on steep grades but I haven't towed in the mountains yet. You'll have to let me know how yours does. [emoji6]

The Tacoma is a beast of a small truck and I was pleasantly surprised at how well it handled the 2109s. Even loaded the trailer is under 75% of the Tacoma's maximum capacity.

Thanks for the feedback. We have the tow package, and the WDH with sway control and the brake controller are being installed on Wednesday when we pick it up and do our PDI. Your feedback has set my husbands mind at ease. We may not try the mountains right away....need to do some shorter and simpler trips a few times first....but will try to remember to let you know how it goes when we do.

I know how he feels! [emoji23] I was stressing too but once I took off with the trailer, I breathed a huge sigh of relief! [emoji16]

Another thing, tow mirrors. Forgot to mention those. I got some inexpensive ones for now. May upgrade later though.

Enjoy your new little home on wheels!
