From what I have seen of the Anderson hitch I would not even consider it. Hitches are like trucks, there is no such thing as to much. There are much better hitches. The new "puck" systems are easy to...

I think the 2013 would be a better choice. I have a 2012 which I really like. It has the Max Tow package. I think the Aisin transmission is available in 2013. The 2013 uses DEF but should have better...

I replaced the valve with a new one but did not use the cable. I turned the valve so the handle faces towards the sliding door so it is accessible. I now just reach in to the valve and open and close...

The tires have to slide when turning because they do not steer. Things really get out of shape when turning and travelling slow such as backing into a site. I try to avoid sharp turns for this reason...

We have the Michelin XTA tires on our M/S. They are a load range J tire. They are 4 to 5 years old and still look like new. I haven't priced tires but the Michelin will be pricey. Do NOT even...

Our fireplace just has the 4 corner screws. All you have to do is support the fireplace while you remove the screws. When they are removed the fireplace comes out easily.

Once the cable is removed it looks just like a regular valve. If you reuse the old valve it would have to be rotated 180* so you can reach it,

It would be expensive but the best thing would be to go to 17.5 wheels and the Michelin XTA which are a load range J. There may be a good 16" tire out there if you can find it.

Slightly off topic but I have a problem with mine going out of alignment when windy. I than stow it and restart. Is there any way to tighten the drive mechanism so it stays in alignment?
