A-ha!!! Cool, thanks for explaining that and digging up the link. I
suppose I could have found it myself with a big of Googling. Yeah, I think
that kind of setup is high on the list of things to get when we pick it up.
The dealer we're buying the trailer from made sure to point out that they
can conveniently meet all of our hitch equipment needs as well :-). They
might be the best ones to figure out exactly what we need, but I'll also
check prices at Canadian Tire, etc. so we know what to reasonably expect.
> Looks very nice!! I would have expected a higher price tag.
I think that has something to do with the absence of the ultra-light feature
:-). As long as we can manage the weight, I'm just as happy to get more
features for the money, rather than pay the extra materials cost.

I haven't seen anything about that. I think this one might be a bit small
for that sort of thing. If it came down to it, we could always get an
external generator and hook in to that. Mostly we're planning on getting
camp sites with electrical hookups, whenever possible.

Not with the neighbor's hedge there. There's no way to manouver it around
the side of the house, unfortunately.

Thanks for the offer. It's good to know it's an option if it comes to that.
Although, I would prefer to have it more accessible if possible. I think
one of the nice things about having our own trailer is that we'll be able to
go camping every other weekend if we want to.

That's the plan :-).
