We picked her up Saturday morning . Gonna take me awhile to master the auto level... I already know we’re gonna have to to add a second AC. It was mid 90s and the one unit could not keep up....

Unhitch the truck, move it out from under & press "auto level", DONE!
If you add the Lego type blocks, or wood, under the jacks so they don't have to extend any further than necessary the RV will feel more stable plus you will need some kind of blocks to put under the low side jacks.

The auto connect is also a big advantage--try it

FYI, if you push any button after auto level in manual mode you will loose the auto reconnect from the memory.
IMHO the 1st time you set up use the auto level then with a level check that it's exactly like you want it, if not look up the calibration sequence, level manually to your liking, recalibrate & now you're ready to be level in any spot you park. Should only have to do this once.

Beautiful trailer! Can't believe one that big didn't come with 2 ACs from the factory.

Nice 5er! We recently purchased a Cougar 337 FLS and found the single AC was not adequate also. I purchased the second AC unit and all the needed parts on Amazon including a heating element for less than $900. I installed it myself after watching several YouTube video's , the install was a piece of cake with the help of a friend and to this day the best mod I've done.

This is good to know, my '18 auto level doesn't ever seem to level correctly. I just ended up installing bubble levels to do it.

Nice rig! I also ended up adding a 2nd AC. Living in Vegas, one wasn't cutting it. My trailer wasn't pre-wired but it was pretty easy to do, got an open box 13.5 BTU Coleman off Ebay for $400. Dealer quoted me $6K to add one, I did it for less than 600

looks great - have a similar unit. Is the TV on a mount (if so would like to know which one you have) or is it just sitting in there :) thx

The 42 inch I have outside is one of the earlier flat screens. It is a bit thicker than today's models (though the picture is amazing). There is a little drop off ledge at the front and it sits in there perfectly.

It is not mounted at all....although I do place my power cords behind it during travel to keep it from rocking. It seems to stay pretty snug just sitting there without any mounts.
