I have a 2005 2720. We have been out for 20 nights this year, all 2 to 4 day weekends. I think I have maybe used one bottle of propane. We have used the furnace 3 nights.
My cord is so long that I wrap it once around the jack to take up the slack.
My 2720 that has an axle weight when fully loaded of 3380 pounds. I have never weighed the tongue. I do not use any sway bars or WD hitch. I have never felt any sway or drag. I think my truck is a little larger than yours, 2002 Chevy Silverado full crew cab 4wd 6.0 liter automatic.
I have the Valley Odyssey brake controller. Very similar to the Prodigy, but with a couple of enhanced features.
I have used the water heater on electric once. We normally stay in forrest service campgrounds with no hookups. I did not notice any difference in recovery time for the water heater between electric versus gas. I have never run out of hot water, but we also don't take showers in the TM.
Ohters have claimed that you can run both propane and electric at the same time on the water heater if you need quicker recovery time. I have never tried it. I will use electric when I have hookups, else use propane.
