good luck with it. I know you will enjoy it.
Just a quick note- Go on line and download a rv delivery check list. The excitement of taking delivery of a new rv can cloud you judgment.
Having had several used rvs taking delivery of my new 325srx was a big move and expense. When I went through every thing I only found one problem with a refrigerator door hinge. The dealer want to order it and have me come back. As soon as I said I would not take the rv- they pulled it off a rv on their lot.
This is the point of your biggest leverage. Do NOT sign the for the unit (final payment either) until everything is 100%.
Ok now I'm off my soap box-
My family and I love our 325srx rv- for 5 of us it roomy- family camping has a futon in the garage. Racing we put 3 dirt bike in the back.
I wish you may years of happy rving!

X2- check every nook and cranny. Top to bottom, end to end. You will find something. Much easier to have them repair before you sign. They receive a hefty prep allowance from keystone on every unit they sell. Make them earn it. Ok, no I'm off my soap box too.

I have been very happy dry camping in mine- I picked up the Honda 3000 gen. Other than being very heavy I love it.
I found the 100 gallons of fresh water lasted a lot longer than I thought it would.
I've never been to dover but I hear its a good time. good luck.

that 3500 will pull it nice for sure. The f250 would be ok (that what I have) the trailer is 9600 lbs- but most 5th wheels weight more-
that 3500 will let you upgrade in the future.

while in the hunt for a trailer I fell in love with the 325srx layout. I liked the toy hauler- wife liked it did not look like a toy hauler. I had seen it at our local CW- but it was more money then I wanted to spend. (I wanted a used one).
after 2 months of looking- my wife said the magic words, "just go buy the dam thing-your driving me crazy". But by then CW was out of stock and looking at a 6-8 week delivery time.
I found mine at Indian Creek rv in pa. Small family owned place. Very nice experience.
I have of give the sales man at CW credit- I'm sure he wanted the sale but was honest about delivery times.

Must be a smaller world than we think. Actually Indian Creek is Indian Valley because we got ours there too. LOLOL. After buying the unit we were talking to (Dave the salesman) and I was telling him how we met this gentleman on the forum and he put a rain gutter on the back of his camper. Dave replied that he sold someone a 325 that did that to his. We got to talking and realized it was you.
