"Last Chance" sewer valve

In either case, you can use the valve as your last line of defense before removing a cap.

Glad you had a successful pilot run!

Yep. Having that "last chance" valve has saved my bacon more than once! It is amazing how often something blocks one of the tank valves from closing all the way, and a gush of liquid whooshes out when I open that last valve. Of course, I always hook up the flexible line to the dump station sewer connection before opening that last chance valve. My trailer came with the last chance valve already installed, but many don't have it.

HAHAHAHA My wife does same. Making hand signals and waving arms behind trailer where i couldn't see her. I added rearview camera and taught her if she can't see me in the mirror then I can't see her. We also have two way radios (so we can yell longer distances ! is what I tell her hahaha) and have used our cellphones.

I bought 2 of the Andersen Levelers for our trailer.
Just put them in front of the wheels, on the low side and pull forward until that side is level, or behind the wheel and back up. Since you have a single axle trailer, you just need one.
Simple and easy to use.

When we bought ours and opened the black to hook up, sales person has left it open. Not fun. Tend to check both are closed before pulling the lever. Get an extra set of Orange blocks they are big help in leveling mount levels in several places , water filter too. Enjoy . both of you have cell phones use them instead of the walkie talkies then completely hands free for the driver.

Went to the school of hard knocks on "Tail Swing".

I bought a set of Beech Lane Camper Levelers and combined that with the LevelMate Pro. I can level, and get set-up in mere minutes now and it is always level front to back and side to side. It also has a hitch recall feature that you set a memory when you unhook the truck so you know exactly high to raise the front when it comes time to leave
