Thanks for all the good feedback. The axle is probably fine, but I'll keep an eye on the tire wear. The shop knows about the issue and will be changing/updating their employee training.

Bent Axle?

We had our tires replaced a couple of days ago. The worker at the tire place was having trouble getting the jacks to work when using the frame, so the supervisor told her to place the jacks under...

Ah! I don't know how ice cream or other frozen goodies would fare. We've removed the freezer in order to maximize space in the fridge. That way there's more room for beer. :whistling:

Yep, it works great. Yes, it's a 3-way unit. The fridge has to be cold when you start driving, however. I wouldn't recommend putting cold food in a warm fridge and then heading out on the highway.

We turn off the propane while traveling. It's much easier than turning it off before every gas station or tunnel. And we find that the batteries handle it OK.

It sure is. Which is why a lit pilot light at a gas station is, uh, dangerous and potentially explosive. And possibly illegal. :cool:

We follow the Escape manual rule and turn off the propane while traveling. The batteries handle cooling the fridge just fine. Make sure your fridge is cold before you start though.

We stayed there a couple of years ago. Very nice. The river is a great place to cool off, although I wouldn't necessarily recommend that in April.

I thought they were a bit bright too (and very white), so I picked up some yellow vellum, folded it, and placed it inside the lamp housings in the dinette area and above the wardrobe. Due to the...

Sorry, I don't know what the weight increase would be. ETI basically installs a solid board between the paneling so the wall can handle a lot more weight hanging on it.

We had four walls done: ...

I use a cinder block and a thick board. Stacked boards would work as well, as long as they're stable.

We purchased that option as well. No complaints. The last time we were at ETI, someone working there mentioned that it's their most popular option -- something like > 90% of buyers get it.

We use a Turtle Wax product called Zip Wax when washing after each trip. It contains carnauba wax, which is key (according to ETI). This keeps the gelcoat looking good between twice-yearly waxes.

A hatchet is great too. It'll handle trimming firewood and -- though perhaps not as efficient as a saw -- lopping through the occasional fallen tree across the road.
