Forgot to introduce myself

Hello,
Shame on me.. my first post was to get some input on an electrical problem, and I got great responses.

My wife and I bought our 3rd trailer, which was our first 5er last fall. We started out about 4 years ago with a 28' shadow cruiser bunk house TT without ever having owned anything before that. ABout a year later we upgraded to a nicer Sunset Trail 27' with a bigger bathroom for a trip to Rushmore in which another family was staying with us. (fairly frivolous reason, but we like to dive right in and learn what we like the hard way sometimes).

Turns out our kids don't actually like sleeping in the bunks. So we decided to trade it in and get a smaller unit...

So what did we do? We went bigger and got a cougar 326RDS fifth wheel... We pull with a 2010, F250, 4.10 gears, 6.8L V10 gas engine, sumo springs, 5 star custom tunes, bilstein steering stabilizer. Love the Cougar, love the truck (which I affectionately call 'My Prius').

Thanks again for all of the help. I really enjoy reading the new posts and learning/comparing/nodding my head in agreement.

-Mike
