I even told them I want the best equipment that will help my SUV handle this trailer and the e2 was what they sold me on. I guess I should've done more research or joined this group before I purchased the camper or that expensive WD hitch...

For the time being, I'll probably do short trips this year as there are a lot of nice places that aren't far away with beautiful views on lake Onterio (like an hour or less away through country roads) while I look into seasonal spots that way I know I only have to make 2 trips with it next year... there and back!

Yes, do your research and ask questions beforehand from objective folks with no skin in the game.

The highlighted above is a reminder that the "salesman" has vested interests; none of them include you other than to make a sale and put money in his, and the dealership's, pocket. I've never talked to a salesman, in depth, about an RV and trailer combo where they had a clue about all the weight dynamics. They DO love max tow ratings and dry weights. I did however once see an RV salesman tell a potential buyer the trailer was too much for the TV.... after the potential buyer was told everything was fine with the tow vehicle after his purchase of a big Mobile Suites 5th wheel the salesman had to finally go to the buyer and tell him the trailer was too much for his tow vehicle.....they could not figure out how to get that B&W 5th wheel hitch thru the back window of his Prius.....

Likely wouldn't arrive very quickly-
Wow, who designed this thing? They even gave it a "Darth Vader mask" on the top. It looks like I'm towing a terrorist.

This cover actually worked out very well, just thought I'd share an update on this just in case anyone else was in the same boat as me.
