I'm hoping that when I move to 285's that it will be straight to provide more clearance. I'll see if we have any pics of our LC towing the trailer. The heavies are great with the 10z by the way. I've got dual propane and two 6volt golf cart batteries plus the storage box, and the heavies do their thing to just level out the truck. Pre-OME, I had 3" of sag on the stock springs.
I had to rig up a +12 line for the trailer batteries, so you may need to mod your stock trailer electrical hook up.
You won't set any speed records on grades on the highway, but it is amazing how well the cooling system works on the 80. We towed all over Death Valley, and the needle never rose above normal. Your wife and kids will like the heater, but it does suck electricity to drive the fan. I'm considering rigging up a solar panel for during day charging. The fridge is nice too -- no ice blocks to deal with. One tip when lighting the fridge propane unit, first start the stove to prime gas through the lines. The flow rate on the fridge pilot light is very small, so you may be attempting starts for a while (and cursing the dealer for a bogus fridge) if you just turned on the propane tanks and air needs to bleed out of the lines.
Let me know if you have any questions when you get yours...Eric

Hi Eric, i'm looking at the exact same unit. Just have my concerns over the vinyl one piece tent when compared to all the other manufacturers out there (sunbrella etc) and my other concern was the surge brakes, are they better or just different?
BTW the one we found is $9000CAD, last years model.
