    I’ve always enjoyed meeting the guests and hosts. I have a few stays picked out for our upcoming trip once we get our trailer. We are not too far from I70, but it would be a detour for just running through.

    When on Auto, the refrigerator will switch to AC if it is detected (for example, when you are plugged into the garage outlet). If there is no AC, it switches to propane. If you want DC, you must manually select it.

    I have to say that I replaced my on the 17 fairly early with a battery powered digital. Stopped the "Sprong" noise when it switched, and I hated how difficult the switch was to operate.

    You will want a torque wrench that goes to at least 90 pounds plus a 6" extension & 13/16" deep socket to torque the trailer tires at 100 miles or so. Particularly important if you have aluminum wheels.

    I'd take a measurement from the ground to the socket for the trailer stinger, then add it it what you need to get the top of the ball to around 20", thinking that the truck will drop an inch with the tongue weight. Even it you are off a bit, it won't hurt anything over a 4 hour drive.

    Enjoy picking up your new trailer!

    I don't have a 250 lb torque wrench. Suppose when I pickup trailer in Madison WI I just mount ball there with breaker bar and 1 1/2 6 pt socket. Don't know if you got my previous text. I have a 2020 f150 4x4 Sport model. Thx Jon !
