I've been researching trailers for a few months now and really like the dual slide option that leaves the center living area more open. Also, an outdoor kitchen was a big plus for us. Initially I t...

Get the Lippert power stabilizers.
They operate under an equal pressure design. This makes it impossible to rack the frame.
As a newbie, you likely do not know about this yet,
Racking of the frame is easy to do unintentionally with standard jacks. Unequal pressure is the culprit. It is hard to judge the amount of pressure being applied to each jack as the effective gear ratio changes as the length of the jack is changed. At first each turn of the crank lowers the jack a LOT. with each turn the jack extension is less. This is known as quick to ground.
This is a desirable thing. The downside to it is that unless you happen to be camped so that all jacks are equal length, then it is hard to estimate equal pressure. Unequal pressure causes doors to stick and or not latch. It is also not good for the TT long term. The Lippert system eliminates this concern.
