Congrats on the new rig. Best of luck...you're gonna' fall in love quick. :) As your first fiver, make sure you do a double pull test -- once after you hook up and with the landing gear just barely off the ground to ensure you are hooked up correctly. Do a search and you'll hear stories of people dropping their rigs on their trucks because they were high-hitched or some other problem with hooking up. If you do a pull test with the legs just barely off the ground and you separate, the rig will only fall that very short distance and not onto your bed rails/tailgate. I also do a second pull test just prior to leaving to ensure the brakes are working correctly. But, YMMV.
