How long does it take you all to set up/hook up/break down? Is an equalizer hitch a good choice?
My wife and I can set up and unhook in about 45 minutes or less. About the same to hook up and be ready to go. Once you've done it a few times, it's not that big of a deal. Of course, we're not staying in it for weeks at a time most trips.
The Equalizer brand is a great choice. If the TT you've chosen has a power tongue jack, the Equalizer will be easy to hook up and unhook. Be aware that to easily hook up with the Equalizer, you'll need to first get the ball and coupler latched, then raise up the tongue and the rear of your truck several inches in order to get the weight distribution bars onto their brackets.
Awesome - 45 minutes is totally reasonable. Hoping that my backup cam will help make it easier too. Going to test all of that when I do my test run, of course. My Uncle has an equalizer too, they had some small issues when learning it but after his last trip, he says he's got the hang finally.
