5 Stars
Love it!!
Finally got the camper out and get these two together. Very easy to set up, start and operate. Love the camper outlet. It was awful trying to prep the camper in the summer heat with no air conditioner, but that is not an issue anymore. I highly recommend the wheel kit for this. I could not see myself carrying everywhere. That was easy to assemble as well.
