Does all of your camper lights work 'OK'.... running lights, brakelights...

check them now and that will give you time to fix/adjust... the last thing you want to happen is get er loaded up and ready to leave and find out your lights don't work.

Also, when you get to in your camp spot. unplug them first thing. you do not want to rip the wires out when you pull away.

You should be able to run 65-70MPH, no problem... but be careful as your truck can jerk your pop-up around like a rag doll and you don't want er to get to fish tailing and may be flip, 55mph would be a good speed for something so 'small'

I pull a 30 footer... never know its' there. Leave the OD on.

To the OP, you will not even know the pop-up is behind you unless it's bigger than any pop-up I've ever seen.

our old camper was 20' and about 5K#'s....i puuled it a couple of times with my current truck and i could barely tell it was there....on one trips the Hwy had Truck Passing Lanes...and as trucks were getting over in to the passing lanes on the steeper hills i was passing them and keeping up with the cars in front of me. with the less aero drag of the pop-up compared to the higher profile of a camper it will be a breeze.
