Denny,
You folks been watching my wife and I?
After about 2 minutes of me not moving, she will come around and ask "what?", the reply, "Can you SEE ME?"

Wonderful 1st night.

We use Walkie talkies. She doesn't quite push the talk button at the same time she starts talking, but we are getting there. Rather glad I hear her and not see her. Her gyrations and facial expressions scare me

I feel your pain. I will just stop if I lose sight of my wife. Sometimes she get's the hint, sometimes not so much. Once, I got out and told her we ought to trade places since she can't handle staying in the view of my mirror. It was a quiet night after that.

It is Ingot with the Magnetic accent. I like the "keep it clean" advantages of the silver and the grey accent just changes it up a bit. Didn't realize the 5th wheel also has the dark grey skirting that matches the truck until they were hitched up. I get lots of compliments.

Congrats on the new truck! Love mine.

That's great.
We have used cell phones, but the slight delay almost got us...

Now we use radios, my rear view camera on the trailer has a mic but no speaker so I can hear her even if she does not press the button...

Just brought it home for some suspension maintenance. My son assisted me on this backup...

You're gonna use a "GOOSENECK ADAPTOR" with this 5er??? Didn't they tell you that would void your frame warranty on the RV? Wait... maybe you are having an Anderson Ultimate installed?

Come to my house. Checking the brake and signal lights are a challenge. The mood following is usually not very inviting when we pull out.

X2 I would put a gooseneck on it. Hopefully the dealer advised you of the same.

It's only a matter of time before you regret that gooseneck adapter. And it usually surfaces in a big way. Look at RVTech's post:

I just can't believe people still do this...

They claimed that the warranty allowed for it. I already have the gooseneck hitch in my truck and have to have it for the horsey trailers and flatbeds.

I'll read the warranty through when i go to pick up the trailer.

I wanted a tent. The wife picked that

I can promise you it's not warranted.
