Tanks guys!! Posted up pic of the front and a pic of mine and wifey's!! Guess what? She wants a roof basket too!

The B&M Super Cooler I used was the 70268 and according to the Bullydog the trans fluid averages around 130 to 140 degrees, stop and go city traffic, outside temp around 105. The big test will come when I tow our trailer.

It tows great!! Empty it weighs 4280, loaded for trips it weighs 4600. We average 60 to 65mph and get 9.5mpg towing and with a Equal-i-zer Hitch it is extremely stable, even under hard breaking. :headbang:

The reason we went with an Ultra Lite Trailer was my wife said she'd go anywhere on trips but she had to have a bathroom, no peeing in the bushes for her:D Now on trips we can head off and explore and at the end of the day we can enjoy a hot shower, comfy bed, full kitchen, DVD player, heater, etc... I love it!!

Congrats on the birth of your son!! I hope you and your family find as much enjoyment camping together as we do. Our trailer has played a huge part in bringing my stepson and I closer together, and I love sliding out of bed early and enjoying a cup of coffee on the shore of a lake, or on the beach!

Post up some pics, wold love to see what your Outback looks like!
