Nice looking dog.
I have a hyper lab / springer mix. I have found that neither of the types of dog ties you mentioned work for him. First, he just runs around enough directions that the eventually he gets them loose in the ground and they pull out. Second, sometimes the ground is so hard I can't get them in. Third, some parks get upset with you when you put things in their ground. (But,some parks don't care).
I carry two ties. One is heavy chain with a swivel on each end. I use this to tie him to picnic tables etc. The second is a store bought cable. The cable has a plastic wrap around it and I use this to tie him to trees. The wrapped cable doesn't hurt the tree. Some parks may still not allow this and that is when I switch to the chain on the picnic table idea.

I was told to buy a rechargeable electric drill to use on the 4 stabilizer jacks that steady the trailer when parked. I was wondering what volt rechargeable drill will be strong enough to do the job.
I use an 18 volt DeWalt drill for the stabilizers and carry an 18 volt impact wrench to change tires. Also have a 12 volt compressor.

Congratulations on the trailer purchase.
You will get used to towing after awhile. If it is set up right you will hardly even know it's back there after you are used to it.
Backing may take you a little practice though. Find a big empty parking lot and practice backing in that.

You can hook up the hose anytime before you dump. Waiting until you are ready to leave prevents anybody stepping on it or a campground employee cutting grass with a weed wacker from cutting slices in it.
When finished dumping and ready to go home, I usually put three complete commode bowls full of water in the tank along with some laundry detergent. This does two things. 1. Keeps any solids left in there (and there will always be some left unless you spray the inside of the tank) from hardening into concrete, and 2. Is enough to cover the bottom of the tank and allow the detergent to splash around while travelling and help clean the tank and sensors. It stays in there until the next time we dump the tanks.
Never store your trailer with dry tanks. Doing that will allow anything in there to dry and harden and will also allow the seals to dry out.
I have followed this routine for many years and have never found the need to use any toilet chemicals except if we were going to store the trailer for an extended period of time (month or more). Just make sure to use plenty of water for every flush. Put some extra in the bowel before using the toilet.

As long as they're hooked up when you dump(the TT) it doesn't really matter lol. You only make that mistake once. Keep the grey tank valve closed and dump it after the black. Cleans it out. I add chemicals and a few gallons of water before the toilet is put in use and after each dumping(of the tank) This explanation should have been part of the delivery process, especially for a newbie. Dealer?
