Our First TC Outing Starts Tomorrow. Woohooo!

We recently picked up this 1994 Coachmen 070-SD and we are heading to the Smokey Mountains (Bryson city, NC) for a few days on our very first TC outing in the morning. I have been searching the forum here for 6 weeks in preparation and I think we got it all figured out (fingers crossed). It's a 4 1/2 hour drive from Durham, NC and I plan to take it real easy on the road. Wish us luck and I will be away from the computer for a few days so forgive me for not responding to your comments. Yep, that's a 904lb camper on a 2009 Ford Ranger (with tow package). I plan to stop by the local gravel pit and weigh it on the way out, should be well under the 4,761 gvwr total weight limit. My best estimate is I'm about 400lbs under. I hope the pics post??
