AC/ Stabilizers/ F.Cap wax - need your thoughts

Hey all, starting my end of season maintenance.
I can't afford my AC to fail while away, we camp in the Carolinas in the summer. Thinking of replacing it even though the current one is still working. Would upgrading to 15000 BTU from 13500 be worth it and a strait swap?

Cleaned my front cap today with Orange hand cleaner. It turned out well, can't remember it looking so good. it shines but feel it needs a wax or polish. Whats the secret trick for making front caps look great ?

My Lippert stabilizer jacks have been sketchy from the start. They are power front and back. The back motor had brush issues from the start, occasionally needs a whack while energized to wake up. Front has been better but now appears to have a stripped gear box. Replacement motors are about $300+ each, i fear they won't be better quality. I can manually use them, i even welded a nut to the back and use the drill with a socket. Still i like thing working properly. Do i buy the same again ?

Happy to hear everyones thoughts ?
