New Owner seeks advice for pick up of 2720

[kncparks]

Hi new friends!

My husband and I have purchased a 2005 2720 that we will pick up next Wednesday. Our tow vehicle is a 2003 Ford F150 Supercrew shortbed. My question is: do you think we should get a sway bar right away? I read the thread about the TM accident and it's a little intimidating. We have driven a Coleman popup (15') for years, but this is a new to us trailer and I don't want to take chances.

I believe that there are sway bars with distribution hitches. Is that recommended? I'm confident in the F150 to tow, but living in the PNW with all of the rain we get and the curvy roads on the coast, I am wondering about these things. I know tires are of UTMOST importance and we will be sure that our tires are in excellent condition.

Thanks in advance for your input! We are so excited to be a part of this community and hope we can join a TM gathering at some point.
