Default towing

I am wondering the same thing as dsrtcro1.Why not buy one close to your shipping point,San Diego Or LA area.
I don't want to alarm you , but if you have never been down the Grapevine, towing something, it can be a "real deal".I have gone over it in a 18 wheeler a few times & if those brakes get hot it is a he-- of a ride.I have smoked the brakes, even using a jake brake, which is an engine brake .Just wasn't paying attention.
The Tundra tows good, but it also has to stop good, so if your RV is close to gross it could get to be a problem. Keep in mind if you get the trailer brakes hot, which is easy to do on a 6% or better grade, the trailer is just going to push the truck,get the truck brakes hot & then you have a real problem.
Just something to consider.
Good luck on your decision.
