Pretty good! I would probably add something about the tailgate. Making sure it is down, making sure it can be down without hitting the front of the camper, making sure it is up before departing, that kind of thing.
I saw the change he made, and glad for it because I too, do that delicate "ballet" of closing the tailgate as the pin nears the hitch. In my case, I AM standing behind the truck as it's moving backwards; I'm not strong enough to raise the tailgate from the side of the truck. I DO trust Ed's driving skills and he moves VERY slowly. Hoping to get a notched tailgate before we leave for FL, just to eliminate that recipe-for-damage.
Ependydad - sure appreciate your tutorials!! Even though we've got a year under our belt as 5er owners - it never hurts to review before a trip!!
