Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving from Carolina Beach State Park. Easy drive down to the NC coast yesterday, Ex pulled great as usual..
i tried to inflate the air bags a little more for perfect level but it causes the front to wander more. My Ex likes the tail down about 1 inch.

Have you played with air pressures in either the TT or TV tires?
Our next trip is to stay in Bardstown, KY for an excursion to Loretto, KY. I have a barrel with my name on it from our last visit in 2011.I'm sure the forecast will be accurate.

I was incorrect
Picked up the new(er) to us TT this morning.
Picture before cranking on the ProPride, I raised the jacks about two more inches before weighing.
It has the auto level system. I’m spoiled.
Then spent the afternoon loading all the gear.
Weight after all gear is loaded.

I added a diy auto level system and it made a huge difference in setup ease for me, you should love it.

Curses on Technology
But, but, but you can turn the lights on, you can turn the heat on, you can....
When it's all said and done, if the electric tongue jack, or the auto level ever refuses to cooperate...I'll shall be cursing technology.

Congrats on the new trailer Mark. This should be a good time of year to get a decent deal. Auto level system makes me jealous too. We have some friends that bought a small class C with that feature, it's got me thinking about adding it. Let us know how it works out in the real world.
My first purchase (2010) was a few days before Labor Day, but I knew the market on the TrailManor lineup and had no trade. I bought it right, they threw in the brake controller and all wiring.
First trade/second transaction was November 2015, I probably gave them the TrailManor at a reasonable difference. I actually tried to sell it privately for a few days to maybe pickup $1000-$1500 more but, no such luck. The dealer had the TM listed at $9,000 on an ACV of $6,000. I don't know what they actually sold it for, they had it for 4+ months.
With this transaction I wanted to work with the same people. They are 6 miles from the house, 1 mile from my office, and from what I can tell (having dealt with them for over 8 years) people of integrity. At the end of the day, I want them to make money. If they don't make an honest profit margin, I have to go to Camping World or Campers Inn. The fact that they added $1000 to the ACV on my trade when I told them what I had found in a Camping World location made a huge difference.

Yes, If you want to buy any RV, November (Thanksgiving) to February 1 is ideal ...in this neck of the woods.
Up Nawth, probably October 1 to March 31 is a good time.

Thanking success
No blown tires or any towing failures.
Loaded to the max, full Thanksgiving turkey setup plus sxs in garage and bikes in the truck bed.
Scale ticket was heavy... Going to have to do something about the trailer weight I think, as I only have 6k axles and 13k gvw. Might build a utv deck and put the sxs in the truck bed and bikes in the garage. I have plenty of payload in the truck still.
