    Yeah, it's a mini fuse. I don't know if it's classified as a "low profile", standard or what. I tried looking it up last night with no success.

    Yup, the x chocks between the tires are the best. I don't need them because I am using 2 BAL Levelers. But if I use Andersen Levelers, I would buy 2 x chocks. But I would not buy from Camping world, cheaper from Amazon.

    Yeah, I've spent entirely way too much $$ at Amazon for my TT lately.

    PaRunnerd - if you do not have a battery disconnect switch, it is a good mod. Allows you to cut battery to RV while you aren't using it, instead of having to open the battery box and disconnect the wires.

    Not really towing advice, just some mods I've done to the trailer.

    Made my own custom pull out storage drawer to have access to ALL storage from side to side.

    Even put small storage bins under the storage drawer.

    Installed a marine style Battery kill switch. Need to finalize the bracket situation.
    DSCN3511.jpg
    Upgraded to 6V deep cycle golf cart batteries. These puppies are worth every penny for desert camping. Also new batt boxes and batt lock straps. Heavy duty locks are used through-out my truck and trailer and are keyed-alike to my house key.(no more 8-10 different keys on a ring just for padlocks..

    And my homemade trailer jack stand..........

    When you get ready to back up in your camping spot let your passengers out and spread around the TT. Roll your windows down and when you hear one of them yell STOP!!! You will be glad that you didn't hit something. Spotters are a good thing and can be used anytime you are in a tight situation. I have towed trailers around for years and still learned a couple things here. Great thread

    Tow Haul and in the Standard Shifting at gear 4 stay 65mph or less.
    cordless high power drive impact wrench for the jack stands so you don't have to use the bar to raise and lower.
    2-way water valve so you could have a hose to the TT and an additional hose to rinse off outside.
