New to me TT have some questions

[Integritas]

Okay this is going to a bunch at once! We just got a new to us TT. it is a 23' Fleetwood Pioneer. I have a 2018 F150 with Max tow package. I am hoping this is going to be sufficient. I will check the truck rating later today. The trailer is 6600 GVRW.

We took out the couch that folds out to a bed, AND took out one side of the dinette. I am getting some captains chairs today to put in those areas. Not sure if that will change the weight or not by removing those things. I hope it was okay to do so. We will not have anyone going with us anywhere and we thought the space would be nicer for us than additional sleeping area.

I am wondering...... I got pads for the leveling jacks, but am wondering if putting them on blocks would be a good idea so we don't have to extend the jacks all the way?

I got an electric tongue jack I will be adding this weekend, any tips on that?

I am thinking solar would be a good thing to put on to keep the batteries topped off if it is not plugged in, any recommendations?

I will need to put a new AC system on it after this winter because the previous owners removed the system because it failed. Any recommendations for a good economical system?

I changed all the light bulbs to LED bulbs and hope that helps a little bit with power consumption. Trying to make it as good as possible for us! We will be traveling around mostly the west coast to courses and competitions for our company. Just 2 of us.

Thanks for any input you might be able to give!

"I am thinking solar would be a good thing to put on to keep the batteries topped off if it is not plugged in, any recommendations?"

Not just "topping off" but rather solar should fully recharge your batteries almost every day. I suggest any of the big names, that you do any energy survey to determine your probable AH use each day then multiply by 1.5., buy batteries at least twice that number and that you have at least one solar watt per battery AH.

"changed all the light bulbs to LED bulbs and hope that helps a little bit with power consumption."

Won't help a "little bit." It will hugely help reduce power use.

Your plans so far are going to be good for off grid, boondocking situations. Dont forget to have sufficient battery capacity. There are all sorts of formulas to aid tou in figuring that out. AC? Not going to work off grid, so pick a 13.5K BTU Dometic, set it in place and move on.
As for the truck trailer combination? Should be fine. Even a low load capacity f150 is capable of handling 6600 pounds easy enough.
Electric tongue jack? Personally I never saw a need. But if your doing it, be sure to add an inline fuse to protect things
