I think you will be fine for this trip. Reasons:
* Use hookups at the campgrounds and empty before leaving.
* 1 full propane tank will suffice for the trip. Refrig will be about the only user.
* Use your cell phone to make reservations and have a campground book in the car. Some tell last years' costs as well as ammenities.
* You can avoid heavy mountain cllimbing. You might check the route to be sure this is the case. Climbing and high altitude is where you will really see the TV power and residual cooling capacity issue show up.
* Being it is new, you won't have it heavily loaded. You have to carry everything you need in your truck going down.
* Take $$$ and a map to the Wal-Marts and Camping Worlds! You will find a lot of things you "just have to get"...

We did this last fall -- towed a "new 1 yr-old 3326" 2000 miles from Indiana to Arizona. I have a GMC Envoy 6 Cyl and it is rated for the load. We didn't hit any climbs until getting into Arizona where I was able to hold 50 MPH or higher all the way.

Have fun!

Bob
