WELCOME one more thing HAVE FUN AND ENJOY YOUR NEW CAMPER looks like the little ones have moved in already. That was the best part for me when I brought ours home. The kids were camping out the first night in the drive. Now that was a big deal for them.
That is a really nice camper you picked up.

I told them they could sleep in it tomorrow after I get sheets and stuff. They didn't want to get out.

1 Oxgenitics Shower head/hose (Easy swap for the current one)
2 Extend-A-Shower Expanding Shower Rod - White Finish (The included screws will hold it if no one pulls on the curtain otherwise use plastic anchors).
3 A 1.5v LED puck light. Remove one of the screws on the shower skylight and run the screw through the base of the puck light then re-install the screw. More light in the shower at night.
4 A small portable 110v heater (ideally less than 1300w) as the bathroom is not heated. Just watch what else is running or you will pop the breaker.

Is there a particular brand that does better in the south. Most I'm seeing are saying for cold winter climates.

I think you want to keep the sun off of your new trailer as much as possible; especially the tires. But, you need to select a cover with care. I think you want to be careful not to trap moisture against the trailer; so a breathable cover would probably be best. Hopefully you'll get some good input from some who live in your climate.

Survived my first outing with the new trailer!!!! Had a great time and the only hiccup was I bent the right rear stabilizing jack. Oh well, I will take that being the only thing that went wrong any day. Thanks for all the advice it sure did make my trip go easier.

It happened when I was getting to the camping spot. The area had a lot of dips and small trenches. Didn't see one of the dips till it was too late.

Next time out, weigh your set up at a public scale. I had my 2902SS hitched to my F150 and the scale numbers opened my eyes. I was slightly over on the rear axle (RAWR) and near my truck's payload cap and I only had a bin of firewood in the bed at the time. The DW and kid were in the store when I weighed it. I had the WDH connected at the time.

Yeah I do need to get the weights for sure. My truck pulls it pretty well so far even with the bed of the truck loaded down. DuctTape was mentioned and I do have it stowed in the trailer, for that matter it's actually in the truck too lol.
