My wife and I lift a big heavy 4000 watt generac onto the trailer tray, a 3000 should be easy. We have it bolted down and locked, so we don't move it much, regardless. For us it puts the weight in...

For your use case I would look at a decent standard generator, 4000 watts or more. It will be great while building, and being rural you can count on one thing, not being the first to get power...

I used rvdirect.com to look at reasonable prices even if I am not going to buy from them. I figure my local shop deserves to make a bit more than rv direct, but not more than 5%.

Not worried. I pulled the screw, its just the head that is rusting. And I intend to trade this in a year and not look at Jayco again. But if I were keeping it that is probably the route I would go.

Option 2 is what I am going to do. It looks simple, I would guess a 20 minute job, so that means 3 hours.

We tow our Whitehawk 32dbsh with a 1 ton Chevy van. It does a great job, we get round 9mpg on the East Coast (no real mountains).

I can't imagine towing this beast with less truck.

Its just a cosmetic deal.

That strip is cosmetic, the screws should be individually sealed. No rush, make the dealer replace the strip under warranty.

Its has fewer bars (only 3) but they are much longer and all attach to either the Frame or to a Special Jack Pad.
