I didn't respond to the earlier question on awnings. My preference is different than Glenn's, not that he is wrong, just different. Having had the manual and having had to retract it in a windy rain storm, I was glad to see the "Carefree" motorized awning. It can be extended or retracted in less than a 1/2 minute from inside the rig.

I would not choose the rain sensitive, automatic retracting awning, because you can't add a screen or tie it down, but I sure like the motorized awing.

On the stabilizer, I chose to go with the Plug-it-rite brand because they were less expensive and work as effectively in my estimation. I installed them myself without difficulty. To be fair, one thing I have seen on the JT's is a "lift handle" to improve lifting the legs when you have pulled the pin.

We have a stackable washer and dryer. We had one in the former unit and we will have one in any future unit. The convenience outweighs other considerations in our opinion.
