I'm a worry wart these days I guess....

I generally don't get worried that easily. I've towed this thing several thousand miles the last 2 years. I believe maybe it has to do with the new baby and just the amount of bad stories I've read recently it seems. I know from a preperation standpoint there's really not much more I can do. I have a pretty good system down that I stick to. My wife always gives me flack because I ALWAYS wash and detail the truck before we go on a trip. My dad used to do it and it's a habit I picked up. I've stayed up until midnight before detailing the truck in the garage the night before we left. I just can't take a trip until everything is done and that includes having a clean truck. Used to be much nicer because it would stay clean. Now with a couple of kids in the back seat it's messed up before the first fuel stop. :D
