New owner-questions

Hello all, i am in the process of purchasing a 2018 Jayco Eagle 325bhqs. We take delivery on January 31st. We love the layout and features. Is there anything i should look out for? We did notice that on the overhang the the trim was seperating from the sealant. We told them to fix that. But i couldn't really see anything else that needed addressing. On my current camper i have "Steadyfast" stabilizers. Should i take them off and install them on the Jayco? Do i even need them?
My tow vehicle is a 2019 F350 CC, 4x4, 6.5' bed, 6.7l. Should I have an worries about height? The camper has 2 AC units

The overhang trim needs long screws to get into the metal framing. The short factory screws just go into the wood and start pulling away from flex. I did mine with 2 3/4" screws, but messed up and hit a wire which shorted out all the running lights. A 60 mile one way trip to the dealer and $600 later it was fixed.

I put BAL LockArm stabilizers on ours and they are great. Really firmed up the fiver. To install them I had to relocate the spare tire to the rear bumper. Not sure if your spare would be in the way or not. But would definitely recommend keeping your Steadyfast arms.
