Most important is to have the correct weight distributing hitch with sway control and have it set up correctly for your TT. You'll also need a good brake controller. How and where you store stuff in the TT is also important. You'll learn something new each time you tow and you'll make little changes as your learn. Have a fun and safe trip!
Thanks HudsonValley - I thought the same thing about the hitch, as I saw on the hitch sticker the 5K tow max, but it also reads on the sticker that with a weight distributing system, it's good for 10,000 tow and 1000 tongue. I think I will call U-Haul tomorrow and verify. We have the Prodigy brake controller installed and dialed in, it seems to be VERY effective. We are impressed with that one. I agree with you, I think it is going to be a weight balancing learning curve for the first few trips. No more packing the kitchen sink (it's already packed!!!) for me.

Thanks again
