Why do I need a water pressure reducer? I don't pick up the trailer till Monday and they said they would go over everything but I'm sure I will have tons of things I forget to ask. Here is a quick question. Do I need chalks for my tires or pieces of 2 x 12's for under the leveling jacks? Also, Do I need something to secure my awning in case of wind?
Yes, you absolutely need wheel chocks. There is only one leveling jack, that's on the tongue. You will probably want an few different size blocks to use under the jack, 6x6, 2x4 to accommodate for terrain. The stabilizer jacks are strictly for stabilizing, NOT for leveling. Depending on the size of the pads on your stabilizers you will probably need 2x4 or 2x6 pieces to put beneath them so they don't sink in soft ground.
For leveling side to side, we use Anderson levelers. Drive on, chock them, done.
You shouldn't need anything for the awning. If it's too windy (or you're going to be away from camp), retract the awning. Only takes a minute and better safe than sorry.
If you ever decide to head "Up North" I'm familiar with many of the state and state forest campgrounds up here...
Have fun!!
