Great looking rig AL1010, and it looks like you have that hitch set up nicely based on how level everything is, with just a slight squat on the rear axle. See you on the OBX!

Different things can be done to hold things in the pass-through storage. Plastic tubs work great for confining things. You could add some of the waffle-weave rubber shelf liner to the bottom to give it more friction to reduce sliding. With experience, you will figure out what works for you.

Thanks for the info Stephen, I checked  them places out. Offgrid, we will definitely be coming out to OBX. I luckily still had my WD hitch from my racing days, it worked perfect. The trailer brake was a breeze on the 4Runner. It literally took 10 mins. Now I’m figuring out I need all kinds of out things. Like what do you put in the pass though compartment so things don’t slide?

Here a picture my wife took when we got it home.

Okay, I did not know about Silver Valley. It isn't too far from Lexington from what I can see on the map. Near us are two areas, Falls Lake which has the Holly Point and Rolling Hills campgrounds. Some friends of ours have stayed at Jordan Lake, but I don't know which campground. We have stayed at Holly Point and enjoyed it. Rolling Hills is year-round. If you are heading west, go to the Cherokee Campground and Craig's Cabins in Cherokee. That is very nice. Depending on when you are there, you could catch the "Unto These Hills" outdoor pageant. Otherwise, there are a lot of state parks in North Carolina from which to choose including some near Pilot Mountain or Hanging Rock. Check this site for information on state parks: http://www.ncparks.gov/find-a-park

Welcome to the group from another NC member, as well as a Toyota driver. If you head over to the OBX with your rig let me know. We live just a couple miles from the Frisco CG. 

Did they set you up with a weight distribution hitch for the Forerunner?  If not I'd highly recommend it.

Congratulations and Welcome! That overhang looks familiar (Country Roads RV Center in Lexington, right?

I hope you have a lot of fun, have many great adventures and make many wonderful memories in the process. We have really enjoyed ours since we bought it there in December, 2015. Where in NC are you? You may be nearby.
