Beautiful camper! I'm sure your going to love it. I think this unit is one of the best out there for a couple. The front kitchen sure does make some tongue weight though.

Thanks for the kind words. The white hose is just an extra water hose that DH hooked up with a sprayer nozzle..he was using it to wash some mud off the TV and just draped it up behind the propane tanks. As for towing, it towed really well without any sway problems. We have the Equalizer hitch with 12000 bars. We cruised at about 60-65mph the first trip and our gas mileage was 12.7mpg. DH says without towing anything at all, his normally gets 13.7mpg. The TV is new and only has 1300 miles so far. The second trip was longer and we cruised about 65-70 mph and got about 9.3mpg. We were with friends and trying to keep up with them. Next time we will just get a head start! Next trip will be back to Myrtle Beach for Memorial Day weekend.

---------------
Your 1200# bars are too light.
Standard hitch weight of your 322FKS is 1140# dry. Add up the battery and full propane tanks and you are undersized at 1200# bars.
Contact your "Equalizer" hitch supplier and ask for the 1400# bars. Equalizer will make a switch out- no problems. They are a great comapany to work with.
Enjoy your Eagle 322FKS trailer, we do ours.
Happy trails,
