Good luck John!
         I'm sure many others will pipe in, but having just done what 
you're about to do (buy your trailer   sight unseen and haul it home) I 
would recommend that you have an electrician at the RV place check out your 
connection if you have any trouble.  We recently drove 700 miles to pick up 
our little trailer and the seller had sent us some pictures of the 
electrical diagram as well as the connection itself.  My husband went out 
and wired the truck connection with an adapter to the diagram specs, and 
when we plugged in the trailer it still didn't work.  Apparently something 
was wired improperly (we don't know on which end).  At any rate, we had to 
unplug the thing and tow it to an RV place (not something I would recommend 
or want to do for a very long drive), but we made it there in one 
piece.  The RV guy got all the lights working, but not the brakes.  Of 
course we didn't realize it until we were down the road a ways, so we 
stopped and used good ol' trial and error to get all the connections hooked 
up properly.  So, the moral of this story is...be as prepared as possible, 
and then don't be surprised or overly upset when the unexpected 
happens.  Even after a little initial trauma we got it home safely and in 
fabulous condition and every time I drive up to my house I kind of chuckle 
a little about the cute little trailer in my driveway...

Good luck.
