The Hensley Arrow is the best unit you can get; however they are VERY expensive (like $2K), so most folks don't drop the $$$ on one.

The issue with the Anderson, and most units like it. Is that they only act to dampen sway after the fact. The Reese "Straight-Line" Dual Cam system actually acts real time to counteract sway as it is...

Correct! I was wrong and you are right. The GMC/Chevy CP4.2 sucks gas out of the tank without a lift pump. However the CP4.2 has the other issue of not getting enough lubrication that eventually...

Amen! The wear and tear is substantial. Also I would recommend that a 1/2 ton should have an UPGRADED (not stock) B&M transmission cooler or like product.

Remember that adding all that stuff does not change the GVRW at all. It may and probably does improve ride, but it has no bearing on the amount of weight the truck can tow.

I agree! Just because a 2500 looks like the specs can tow 16,000 lbs doesn't mean you should do it. I never like being on the bleeding edge of a spec. I see lots of people doing this with 2500's and...

So my next question is. How do I empty my Fresh Water tank? Which can hold up to 60 gal. Do I use the low water drain at the rear of the RV?

I know for my 2018 Cougar there is just 1 valve for the grey tanks. I'm kind of glad for this. I was used to one outlet on my Jayco 265RLS, and two handles before.
