New 2608BS

Wife found the 2608BS and has to have one. What options do I need?
We generally camp with full hookups so is the 200W of solar enough or should I opt for the additional panel. LifePo battery?
I want slide toppers. Is leveling system worth it?
I have an equalizer hitch with 1000lb bars on a GMC 2500 diesel. Do I need heavier bars or a different hitch?
Any suggestions would be helpful. TIA!

I would add an extra panel or two and upgrade the battery. Auto leveling is up to you I don't find it hard to level the trailer. Hitch weight will be somewhere between 1000/1200 when fully loaded. Rockwood has another front kitchen model that is really nice check them all out. Good luck

If you dont boondock, extra solar and batt are just added expense. Plan on 12v fridge to use 5a per hour if you think about more batt. You would need much more and bigger inverter if wanting to run an AC. Second AC with heat strip in bedroom. Second maxair is nice. Ours had both.
