No problems here yet with the hot water heater except the pressure valve needing replacement last week.
Just removed the damaged rear stabilizing jacks. Driver's side got bent while negotiating a hill/turn and apparently occasionally bottoming out has worn away areas. $1,000 to replace. Removed and are now using a pair of 6,000 lb jacks for $20.
Drawer under couch broke (probably too much weight (limit 50lbs.) Since I've been covering the couch with a nice soft flannel sheet anyway (upholstery is fraying a bit and has always been rough/yucky feeling), we simply removed all of drawer except sliding hardware. Bought a plastic tub to hold contents and left 1/2 open as hiding place for dog. Sheet also reduced dog smell as is easily washed! 1/2 empty area works well on travel days for dog toys and printer.
The metal we added to the wood under the bed where it rests when slide is in has been working great. Just needs a little guidance by hand to get into the slot.
Got a Bissell upright vac to replace the central vac that died. What a diffrence!
DVD player died -- Larry found one that will fit and work with surround sound system -- Yamaha YMC-500BL.
Currently "enjoying" 50 - 60 MPH winds in Albuquereque!
Happy Trails!
