I called the dealer earlier today. He has ordered just about all the panels needed for the slide, and other repair items, none of which have arrived from the factory yet. Since I really don't use the slide, it is still funcional of sorts, and it doesn't leak, I am in no hurry. I now have 23+K miles on my unit. I am anticipating moving within three or four months, so expect my mileage to plummit once I am in San Antonio (thank goodness!). I will anticipate that after the first 30K miles in about 13 months, I will settle into about 12K miles per year.
I just put the spare on the front right, and am buying another tire to put on the other side. I am probably not going to rotate those tires, and anticipate that they will wear out in about 20 or so K miles, at which time I will get Michelins all around, and get back into a reasonable rotation schedule. I have learned my lesson that if you don't rotate from the beginning, all kinds of driveability problems begin (like pulling to one side, and an inability to balance). I could have the tires shaved (trued), but I frankly don't think those tires are worth the expense.
