For the install make sure you have good drill bits. Cheap ones will just make the job more frustrating. The install is pretty straightforward, just take your time. It took me three days at about 3 hours a day but I was by myself (a helper would have been nice but is not required) and I am 65 years old. I also took the time to drop and reinstall the bottom covering to get the wire inside. This step could have probably been skipped as the cabling is pretty robust.
All of the included hardware is excellent quality but just to be on the safe side I purchased and used all good quality stainless steal bolts and nuts. Again probably not necessary but I don't intend to replace them in the future unless I get another fifth wheel then it is coming off and going on the new unit.
