Thanks, scott, and everyone else who wrote to me. It is much appreciated.
I felt like I was so out of my league that I didn't even know what
questions to ask.
Everyone has helped quite a bit. Thanks again!

>> Well, here goes:
>>
>> My wife and I are about to purchase our first-ever Airstream: a 63
>> Flying Cloud. This is also our first camping vehicle, and the first
>> trailer of any sort that we've owned. This makes us newbies of the
>> most embarassing kind.
>>
>> I have a '96 Land Rover Discovery with the towing package (can tow up
>> to 7,500 lbs in low gear, 5,500 in high). It has a factory hitch, and
>> we've just had them install the "factory" (?) wiring kit.
