Success!

Well our first trip was a success! First thing I notice, with the new 5vr loaded with all our junk and 50lbs of air in the airbags it pulls wonderfully! No sway, just a little jerking when you have a hard break check but thats from the slider hitch. And its stops just fine! I had two seperate incidents during the trip when we were at highway speeds someone cut me off then red lights turned on us, truck and trailer slowed and stopped wonderfully! backing up and setting up is so much nicer as well, everything is in its place outside, we were set up, hooked up and relaxing in no time flat! We had a great time, everything worked, nothing broke and my feet didnt hang off the bed this time only problem is we arent scheduled for another trip till memorial day...........

Sounds like you had a great trip. It is nice to have a "true" queen size mattress as opposed to the 74" long "camper" queen.
