Made the trip "without issue".
Since I haven't towed anything like this. Largest thing before it was a 16' boat. I think it towed really well. On way there was winding and hilly roads. To and from also included about 30miles of freeway which were pretty easy also.
Found out A/C in fact didn't work. It would blow slightly cool air. I'm hoping just needs recharge from sitting for so long.
--All tanks used (Gray 1, Gray 2, sewage) held what they needed to until the end of the trip.
--'City Water' connection didn't have any issues.
--Water heater only worked on gas. I'm assuming the element is fried. When we got it, it was turned on along with the breaker. Testing it was turned on, all before we knew anything about it.
Found/Need to do---
--Need to repair panel under bedroom by the hitch. it's loose and started getting worse on trip back.
--Need to find out why TV splooged coolant. Troubleshooting underway. Initial lookup points to bad coolant cap or worse- egr cooler or head gaskets.
--Need to find out why TV flashed trailer disconnnected/fault. Troubleshooting underway. Initial lookup points to ground wire in harness on truck.
--Need to replace TV intercooler pipe. Already found it cracked.
All need to be completed within 2 weeks before next trip!!
