That bathroom is nicer than some people's bathrooms at home lol. This thing is sweet. I'm pretty jealous. Looking forward to draining that water tank when I need to take a bath

sweet set up! fyi you need power for the fridge ,hot water heater and heater even in propane mode. they all use electronics to control the temps and you need spark to light the automatic pilots they have. i had to learn the hard way with my toyhauler up in the mountains on a camping trip with the family with a low battery and everything stopped working and beeped at me letting me know it was shutting down cause the battery couldnt power them no longer.

So... small update!!
Got the weight distributing system installed as well as a Sway controller. Sway Controller was a bit redundant but it can't hurt, only help. Although this friction type Sway Controller promises to be noisy, especially when it starts to get weathered! :/
Anyways, on to what I do best (picture whoring)
So here's the new Hitch:


That small ball mount is for the Sway controller.

Here is the weight distribution system hooked up:



And then with the sway controller:

And then...look what snuck it's way into the Trailer!!

Turns out it fit between the wheel wells nicely


Also plenty of room behind the truck:

And In front too:

I think all in all I have about 18" of clearance fore and aft and about 22" side to side. Plenty of room, so that's a bit of a relief. I think fully loaded as it is now I'm probably pushing close to 13,000lbs...
Also got a small vid of my Duramax in action!! Love this engine!!! I decided I wanted to try to back up the loaded trailer, up a 15% Hill!! Haha
