When I warned you about checking the 53 block, that didn't mean to run away from it if it has one. If it hasn't cracked by now, it probably won't. The problem only exists with the 53 block when you don't allow it to properly warm up or cool down. If you do let it warm up and cool down you are most likely never going to have that problem.
Mine came with a toad, and a 2" receiver hitch. It had all the electrical connections except a 7 pin connector. Since i'm pulling a 5,000# flatbed(loaded), that requires electric brake hookups and a brake controller. My coach did not come with one, so I had to take the dash apart and wire one in. I had to run two wires from the dash all the way to the hitch. It was a pain in the rear but necessary.
The tires will have a date code on them with the week and year. Something like 3209. That would mean they were made in the 32nd week of 2009. Everyone here will tell you that 7 years is when you need to change the tires due to age. If the coach needs tires, it's between $2500-3k to get 6 fresh ones. You can use this as a bargaining tool. Hope this helps.
