The county sheriff showed up last night... In Nebraska, if you buy used or you buy a vehicle from out of state, you must have it inspected by law enforcement. A phone call is all it took in our county to get a deputy dispatched. When we called Friday around noon, we were told it would likely be Monday before someone would be able to inspect our rig... We were surprised at 7PM when a deputy showed up to perform the inspection. The inspection amounts to verification of the VIN with the paperwork needed to obtain license plates and is a nice courtesy so we didn't have to drive the 40 miles to our county seat.
Today I installed a 10" hitch adaptor for new Blue Ox tow bar and modified new tow bar to use with our Jeep's custom tow plate. Discovered the hose access hole in the waste valve area is too small for Rhino hose fitting to fit through. Valve opening is too low to route hose through compartment door for draining so... I removed the 6 screws attach the waste hose trap door mount and temporarily removed it for draining. Thinking about plan "B" with the waste access hole.
