Our dealer was on top of this brake issue and will install the cam when he installs the hitch. Whew!
So the last concern I have is getting the trailer level with the truck using that air hitch. I haven't gotten to talk to the dealer due to the bad weather. They have been closed. Almost over every hurdle, lol.
I plan to install the Line-X next week on the truck. I also ordered a tonneau cover that has cross bows. That should fit over the hitch. Only thing I have left is the PressurePro, and maybe a camera system for the trailer. Our truck has a camera on it.We aren't too swift on stuff like that, so may have to enlist our neighbor's aid.
I priced the Pressure Pro, tho. $190 for the basic system, and $50. sensor per tire. I don't know how easy this is for a DIY. Our dealer quoted me something in the neighborhood of $650., but I think that was just for the RV. Not sure.
Thank you all again for all of your help!!

I just bought the TST tire montoring system for $399.00. Eight sensors with replaceable sensor batteries. Model #TM-507RV/SE. It really works great. Make sure your cover rails don't go above the bed rails so you loose more clearance between the underside of the trailer and your truck rails.

Walt!
I owe you a big thanks!! I had ordered a cover that was on rails that would have increased my bed rail height by about 3"! I just never thought of that! Thanks to you, I was able to stop that order before it shipped and switch to the Extang RT, a low profile cover . Thank you sooo much!
I'll look into the TST system. I hope these posts are helpful to other newbies who are just as inexperienced as we are, lol.
Again, thank you so much!

New Truck for the MS 38 RSSB3
More information:
According to Carlisle, the brake controller supplier, the 2011 Ford truck is compatible to the Carlisle brake controller mounted on DRV trailers without the HBA-CAM--therefore none is needed.
That is not true for those using the 2011 Chevy/GMC tow vehicle, which does require the HBA-CAM to be installed on a DRV.
DRV offers the HBA-CAM as an option and has notified all dealers to ask the potential buyers the type and year of the tow vehicle to determine if the optional HBA-CAM should be ordered.
Not all units, depending upon which tow vehicle is to be used, require the HBA-CAM. Therefore, installing a HBA-CAM in all units is unwise since some don't need it. There has also been resistance to the idea of installing it on all units whether needed or not.

tonneau cover
Beachgirl,
Congrats on the new truck and Mobile Suites.
You might want to check out a tonneau cover that is called RollNLock.
It is a retractable aluminum tonneau cover that you can lock in different
positions and they even say you could walk on it.......
As I remember they are a little pricey, but that will be the next one I buy.
Good Luck

ishie,
All tonneau covers are aftermarket--removing one is just the reverse of installing it. Some are a lot heavier than others, some are just plain awkward to handle, most require 2 or more people to get them off. There are lighter fabric ones that roll up to cab and can stay on while towing--choices are limited only by $$$ you want to spend.
Just google 'tonneau covers' or 'pickup bed covers' and look them over.
Joe
