Hi Pete. Thanks, it's good to have a site to share the RV experience and help one another.
Have you thought about a slide topper? They are really a great add-on. I highly recommend one to all my customers. Helps keep the leaves, snow, water and junk off the slide. I think they are about $250US. Camping World put them on. Not too hard though, simple hand tools and follow the instructions.
Yes, looking forward to the upcoming trip. I will try and post some pics and also of the truck/trailer and the mods. If you ever need some RV service/repair advice, just hollar! You can also email me at

Cheers Pete!
Tony
