Checking in from NE OK

[FordTechChase]

Hello all! Checking in from NE Oklahoma. Our family just purchased a 2010 Hideout 30BHDS. Acquired it from our credit union as a repo. It looks like it was very well taken care of and only needs a few nickel and dime items fixed. Ordered a set of aluminum wheels to get rid of the plain white steel ones and a set of new tires. Looking to make a few touches to make it ours and use it a lot this summer. We sold our baja outlaw and made this purchase. We've spent 3 nights in it and already love it over tent camping. Hope to learn a lot and ask some questions along the way

Looks good, good luck with it. You might want to check your hitch as the front of the truck looks a little high and the back of the truck a little low.

Welcome. Still new here too.

Lots of good discussions happening!

Truck has a 2.5" leveling kit on it which makes any squat on the rear look like that. It only set it down an inch or so. Still green at towing a TT and setting up the hitch. Does it not need to squat some? I've towed my dads 5th wheel a lot behind my other truck but never a TT on a 1/2 ton. Didn't know if keeping it at true normal ride height was ok with the WD bars. Figured it would act funny if it didn't set it down a bit?

The front of the TT should have a slight downward tilt. The WD is usually set up by measuring from the ground to the front fender before TT is hitched. Then after hitched without WD attached. Then with WD attached the ideal should be half between the first two measurements. Look up your hitch on line. There are probably You Tube videos that can help. Good luck. Have fun camping.
