Now on to the tow bar search and directv Sat antana to have the coach mostly set up. Oh still and always looking for more tips on this coach.

Len,
On the coach batteries, I used SAMs 6v true deep cycle batteries that they keep in stock for golf carts. They only cost $85 ea. and since we don't dry camp that much they seemed better than the 12v non-true cycle batteries they carry. The 12v ones you mention should be much better.
On the towing, we use the Blue Ox Aventa LX Towbar and I installed their baseplate and other connection items - all work great. On advice from another user, I bought US Gears Unified Tow Brake and it installed without any problems and has really helped in hard stopping situations - operates the vacuum on the HHR brakes.
