Getting close to a TT
So I am taking delivery of my F350 tomorrow. I am looking to move pretty soon on a Rockwood 2911BS (~10k GVW). Playing a few dealers against each-other and doing pretty well with that. Question(s)...

- One dealer is throwing in a Husky Centerline hitch, is this worth it for $400 installed?
- No w/d hookup, should I be able to do this myself? I have worked in construction and am pretty handy.
- How important is the dealer I am buying from? Should I ask them particular questions?
- They all have a "starter kit" for about $200 (30a/50a adapters, sewer hose and some other stuff), should I bother with that or get all my own stuff?
Thanks!
I don't know anything about the Husky Centerline hitch -- does it come with weight distribution? Seems really odd that the dealer would not sell you a hitch with W/D. Yes you can install the hitch and/or hitch parts yourself... most dealers do it for you. You will probably want to adjust the hitch after a couple camping trips depending on how you load your truck and trailer.
What exactly does the "starter kit" include? There is a very slight possibility it may be worth it. When we bought our TT, the starter kit was included at no extra cost - and it was cheap! But it got us camping for a couple trips while I figured out what I really wanted. You are going to want a 30/50 adapter, sewer hose, etc.
If a dealer will include stuff for "free" (yea, I know that is a flexible word...) go ahead and take it.
Do NOT buy too much stuff right away, go on a couple camping trips (near where you live) to figure out what you will actually need.
Good luck, and have fun!
