Taking 5th Wheel in for a few small issues

We made an appointment to have a couple of small issues repaired. Really nothing major, just sort of "nit-pick" stuff. 1) The kitchen window shade wall clip that it attaches to is broken. 2) Not sure if this is normal, but the shower enclosure has a 1/8' gap at the top of the enclosure. We are worried about water/condensation running down the wall and causing problems. We will have them caulk it. 3) The radio/CD/DVD player turns itself on. We turn it off and go out a few hours later and it is back on??? Gremlins maybe... And there is ZERO/zilch/nada AM reception. We are 40 miles from a very hi watt station (KKOH) and nothing. (this may be a fairly big issue)
Two questions... 1) The TV/power is on an outside wall for the bedroom but the spot where the TV would mount is on the partition wall between the bedroom/bathroom. What recommendations for routing the coax/power cord??? 2) What brand/brands of tires should I be looking at as far as **** brands? There was a young fellow making an appointment that had driven his new rv 50 miles and one of them BLEW and did some damage to the rv. Would telling the dealer that mine may be dangerous be reasonable if they may be a suspect brand?
Just curious and looking for other experiences with new units.
Thank you

Put LT (Light Truck) tires, preferably made in the U.S., on it.
Cannot agree more. Those that don't want LT tires have never used them..

I would qualify that, though. I'd have almost zero problems with Maxxis or Carlisle RH STs, in that order. Yes, if I had 16" rims, I'd go with good LTs. Personally, I have the Carlisles and have not had any issues with them.

What I am thinking. Don't ask how I know that about that problem.

I had a TV that had a "ghost" in it. It would turn itself on in the middle of the night, or after we had gone out for the day. Turned out the "ghost" was a loose wire connection in the ground fault adapter in the bathroom that also controlled the circuit that the TV was on. Tightened up the connection and our "ghost" found a new home somewhere. 🙂
