I WISH
The OH is planning on getting the hoover polish and cleaner out before she will even sleep in the thing....she has an obsession with ott cleanliness
Ps thanks for the welcome to the tin tent brigade.

Sound good.
So have fun next weekend.
By the way, do you have a stabilizer, hitch type? In that caser don't grease the towball. The types that works by clamping on the towball need degreased towballs, as they work on friction.------------- WL
