So let me see if I have this right.  The components I will need are as follows:

Tow bar
Base plate to be installed on Malibu
Some sort of electrical harness to electrically attach toad to PC
Braking system
Locking pins to prevent theft

I know I have to remove a fuse from Malibu, I believe the transmission is left in neutral, not sure about key in ignition.  Little more research required.

I definitely want to use a setup where the tow bar can stay with the PC after we unhook.  Ok I will look at the information in Motorhome magazine and start some research.  I think the most confusing is the braking system. 

Thanks for the replies thus far.

Well we finally have a delivery date for our 2910T.  November 15th.  Can't wait.  My next concern will be how to set up a toad.  Currently we have a 2011 Chevrolet Malibu.  The owners manual states we can tow it four down.  Can anyone recommend  the necessary apparatus? I.e. tow bar, braking system, etc.  Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

Well we are a couple of months out from getting our 2910T. Can't wait.  Our first trip will be to Florida around the second week of January.  Does anyone know of a campground with cabins ( for friends ) on the west coast  central area?  I'm sure the different resorts fill up fast so I better get moving on this.  Thanks

We are newbys and ordered ours at the Hershey show.  We are having them installed when they build the unit.  Our experience with other rigs is that hey are beneficial.

Thanks guys for the feedback. We are coming from a 37 ft. Fifth wheel and full size tow vehicle.  As far as room goes we had plenty.  However, fitting in different campsites was a concern, we always had to use Pull throughs at least most of the time. If we stopped to rest it required leaving tow vehicle And go back to fifth.  Now with the Cruiser we don't have to do any of that.  Makes it easier for my wife and pet too.  My son, who camps with us in his own rig thinks we are going to find it too small.  I don't think so though.  The 2910 T has three slides so I think we will be fine.  We take grand kids along occasionally too.  So some extra room for that too.  Thanks again.

Just a note to say hello.  My wife and I recently ordered 2910T.  Saw the Phoenix Cruiser at the Hershey show and was sold on it.  Won't have possession until sometime in November, but we are anxiously awaiting for that to happen.  One of my first questions I suppose is " did we make a good decision". Thanks in advance.
