Thanks

Thanks to all who replied. We ordered our new 2509s on Friday. Hopefully to be delivered end of May/Early June. We were told 12-16 weeks. We opted for:
1. Slide Topper
2. White exterior
3. Newport ash with stone interior
4. AC upgrade
5. 12v. fridge with solar panel and inverter (this had the most mixed reviews of all but I liked the idea of the bigger fridge and the solar).

Can't wait for delivery! Next problem is figuring out which weight distribution setup to buy. I'm leaning towards Husky centerline, Equalizer 4 pt, or the Trekker. Can anyone offer hitch height? Also, some of the systems want the stabilizer brackets 32" back from center of tongue and others at 28.5-30.5. Does anyone have a measurement to determine if either (or both) of these would work between the propane and batteries? Thanks

We also requested (2) golf cart 6 volt batteries. Normally they come with one 12 volt car type or marine battery. You will also need a good weight distribution hitch with anti sway.
Good Luck, maybe we’ll see you on the trail.
Did you order the camera from the factory or is that a dealer install item?
