  A travel trailer is not like buying a new car, then hitting the road.  If you are new to RVs or trailer camping in general, you should do a training shake down trip,of a few days first, close to home, in case you have issues.  It your schedule does not allow this, get a good going over of the trailer with the dealer, checking out all systems, then go home and camp out in your driveway for at least one night to check out how everything works, and you do not find any surprise issues.

  Thank you @Denny16 for the good advice and I thank you @ontheroad - you are right.  This is not my first dance with a trailer.  No doubt this trip will be fraught with some challenges, but isn't that half the fun?  Perhaps some don't call such challenges fun, but I would put theme there. 
  

  
  

  However, I still don't have the measurements I need.  :  )  It is a significant change from the old plastic tubs of the past.  I even have one of those still sitting in my shop awaiting to be traded in, but the new one is very different.  Again, thank you to anyone who could help me with these measurements.

  Thanks, good to know your previous experience.  I would love to help, but our trailer and the new 2021 front tub tongue box are nit ar hand, as the dealer has both to install the new box, and other repairs.  I can email the service tech and see if he can get the measurements for you.

  Don't forget US bills are ~6"x2-1/2".  Folded in half you've got 3" or 1-1/4".
  Good enough to measure lots of things in a pinch.

  Your IPhone can also measure the length and width of the lid, or any other solid objects.

  My JIC bin is already too full! I actually take a.larger one when on a longer trip but for weekend getaways, I try to travel light.
