We want to be very ready to go. The last fire hit our area 20 minutes after it started. Luckily we saw the smoke and started loading the car immediately. But we have pets, 3 people and just not enough room.

I had not considered that. Good idea, thank you.

I carry 6 rachet straps in my truck at all times.

We use our 2619 for this also. We live in a WUI (Wildland Urban Interface) area adjacent to the foothills. We keep our Trailmanor in the garage so I keep the batteries charged and basically, prep the trailer for camping after every trip. This means fill up the water tank, propane full, all dry food items restocked and rotated, bedding cleaned, toiletries restocked, trailer mechanically ready to go. It is easy once it becomes a routine. I would recommend packing a duffle for the pets, and any additional persons who normally do not camp with you, and placing it in the trailer when you close it down after camping. If you stay on top of the maintenance of the trailer you should not have to worry about weird failures.
