You have a healthy attitude, Dan and I am indeed adjusting to my new responsibilities--but in candor--I didn't expect it, however--which says something about my naiveté, I suppose.
But you are right, it is a terrific piece of adventure with many more possibilities for exploring this wonderful country than a car with hotel rooms could ever offer.
I spent some time underneath the unit and saw where the rubber mounts have been used and where they were not. I suspect that Ford includes extra mounts for the many different types of body options for their chassis.
I also found out why my vehicle wasn't charging the house battery--the AC adapter plug came loose and I left the thermostat on during a cold snap, so it ran the battery down.
I've now installed a night-light in the AC outlet over the sink which will tell me automatically if I'm on AC or 12 V DC.
