Thanks for the info Mike and yes, I would definitely like a copy of that checklist. I will send you a message (he says with confidence like he knows what he's doing) with my email address. By the way you live in a beautiful area of the country. My wife has lived in the Medford area before and still has family there.
Oh, one question I thought of yesterday……generators. How common is it for a generator to be built into the trailer? I see a lot of generators hanging on rear bumpers. A friend of mind had his stolen off of his rear bumper. I'd like to get something with a generator built into the chassis.
Thanks
