I have to say, the drive home from the dealer on I-4 here in Tampa was white knuckle. Not a surprise, as we were probably loaded all wrong with an empty trailer but a dealer filled water tank, a WD hitch that the dealer set up that we have yet to adjust, and a truck bed full of gear and junk that we didn't unload prior to our TT delivery. Our next two purchases are going to be a set of LT tires for the truck and a nice set of Bilstein shocks.
There is a learning curve to towing, that is for sure.
Thanks again for you help and advice!

Melissa,
Weigh your trailer.. I'm sure it is much heavier than what you posted.. What is GVWR of the trailer? I always use the GVWR as my guide to which trailer to buy.
Your shopping list should include:
LT tires.
Bilstien or ICON rear shocks (Contact PRG for all your suspension needs)
Air Bags. (Again Greg @ PRG)
