2. Is there a set sequence for set-up and take-down of a 2720SL trailer? I don't want to accidentally close up the trailer wrong and break something .....
I can't think of any way to do the setup (opening) wrong. Any sequence that works for you is OK.
On the other hand, you can mess up the takedown sequence in any number of ways - but good news, it is really hard to hurt anything. The fact of the matter is that you will develop your own takedown sequence through trial and error. We went through such mistakes as ....
Folding while the power cord is still out
Folding while the water hose is still out
Folding while the steps are still out
Folding while the TV antenna is still up
Folding while the ceiling vents are open
Folding while there is something thick on the bed
... and so forth ...
In each case, nothing breaks, but the TM just won't fold up right. You can feel that there is an obstruction as you try to collapse it. So just be sensitive to the feel of it, and don't try to moose it into place if it fights you. Go back and find out what is wrong.
By the way, we found that we made the most mistakes while we were "showing off" for other campers. Beware!
And happy camping!
