As I research and get closer to pulling the trigger on my first travel trailer, the Oliver Legacy Elite II, I am struggling with upgrades and add-ons.
My tow vehicle will be a 2015 Toyota Tundra, Limited, 5.7L V8, 4WD. I am confident this will pull the trailer but I do not know if the optional Anderson No-Sway Hitch is needed. As a newbie to the travel trailer scene, I have no experience with swaying and bouncing of this trailer in tow. Please offer advice if the Anderson No-Sway Hitch is something I should include. Thus far, I have selected options that potentially add almost $15K to the base price of $53,900 (see attached Excel sheet). I welcome comments and suggestions pertaining to all items on my upgrade "wish list". Will be retiring next year and hope to hit the road shortly after. To minimize aggravation and lessen worry in my retirement, I am willing to purchase upgrades if makes sense to do so. Also, I am looking for recommendations to remove upgrades from my list that do not make sense. For example, I removed the Lagun Table from my wish list after reading a regret about that particular upgrade and the possibility of a folding table being a better option. I am not particularly "handy" so some home-made solutions to avoid upgrades may not be in my bag of tricks. I really do appreciate the videos from you expert trailer folks - almost makes this do-it-yourself stuff look fairly easy and doable.
