Slow, I considered the diameter issue, but went ahead because:
1) The end of the hoses look to have about the same diameter hole

The trailer looks new, too.

I just did that round trip yesterday to visit my parents, though in my wife's car. It didn't seem windy then. Still…when it's windy, I'm glad to have my full-size F150.

You don't need not much hardware. Just an iPad to HDMI adapter and an HDMI cable direct to the TV. This is the adapter I use:

I run my little Weber Q120 under the awning all the time. That's a *long* way up for heat to be an issue. The only issue there might be is smoke getting into the trailer, so I keep the windows near...

Decent wrench. I just used mine today. One or two nuts on each wheel needed a bit of tightening. Totally worth the $20. At $10, now there's no excuse to not have one.

It could just be an adjustment and/or trailer load distribution issue.

What brand is the hitch? I don't recognize the "Pro Series" name.

What's the wheelbase of your truck?

For that setup, just start shopping around for tables. As I recall, the table is almost 37" wide, so anything 3 feet wide should work as long as the legs are out of the way.

I hear ya. I'm starting to have to look harder for stuff to do…even stuff I really don't need. Someday I'll get to the suspension, but that won't be a DIY job for me.
