Brought our new rig home today

I was a bit nervous about getting this thing in our driveway. I'll post a pic, but what you can't see is that I'm standing on the curb (20' wide road) to my cul-de-sac taking the picture, so there was a double-corner to get it backed in.

Nonetheless, got it in, first try, with a good inch to spare between the trailer and the gutter on the house (I have perhaps a foot behind I can use too, but wanted the space so I could get back there).

The only issue was a little porpoising on the segmented highway, and I forgot to double-check the body heights after it was all hooked up. I suppose it's better to do that later, when loaded, anyway.

Speaking of weight distribution: I have a Reese cam-based WD hitch. The instructions suggest at least 5 chain links on the adjustment, but if it's not tight enough is it safe to run with 4? It seems the only alternative is to detach the hitch-ball assembly and give it more tilt.

First run will be a weekender on Friday :-)



Cheers!
Scott, Bonnie and Andrew
