We have Wheel Masters which has liquid in the rings. Over 200,000 miles and no problems. We only put them on the front wheels.

I suggest that you look at the gas regulator on the LP gas tank. Depending on the temperature, air pressure, amount of gas flow or how it is mounted; the regulator may "sing" or " whistle". The sound can follow the solid gas lines causing the actual sound source difficult to locate.

Your carpet and pad are thicker than the 1/8 inch material you plan to install. Mine is about 1/8 in thick too. The weight is less than the carpet and pad, too. Your greatest difficulty will be getting all the staples removed as you take out the old carpet. I took a easy 4 or 5 days to removed the carpet, pad, and staples. Some of the staples will be hard to see. I just scraped the floor with a wide drywall trowel. You will hear a click when you hit a staple that has broken or is unseen.
Take your time and you will be happy with your new floor.

I have a vinyl like product on our floors. It is a resin and marble dust product that is flexible. I use the plastic boards I described above, but they only have a lip on the leading edge.

There is a plastic "board" to put under the slide runners before you retract your slide. When you extend the slide the "boards" are removed and stashed away. They are about 42" long, 6" wide and about 3/16" thick. There are pricy but work well. We bought four and have found we only needed two. I'll see if i can find a web site of a supplier.

I have the same air compressor. You can find a 1/4 inch - 50 foot hose at Harbor Freight that is reasonable and very flexible even in cold weather. !/4 inch hose is large enough because you need pressure not volume.

Replace with any mattress that is comfortable to you. You will not need a box spring because the mattress will be on a wood base. I suggest that you add an anti-skid rug mat under the mattress. These are similar to the anti-skid mats used on shelving but a more course weave and come in standard rug sizes just cut to fit. We have a local firm that builds mattresses and is easier to work with than a national firm.

My sister had a Condor (2003 or 2004) for several years that was trouble free.

Your only difficulty may be the operation of your refrigerator. I plug in the coach to keep the batteries charged and the frig cold. My frig is on the passenger side; therefore, I back in so the front is lower. If I drive in, the frig does not operate well which is probably due to the slope of the cooling coils on the frig.

To aviod this problem, I put a hitch on rear of the towed auto, installed the bike rack there, and had no problems. Additionally, I could then haul the bikes with the auto without the motor home to see the sights.

We have never balanced the rear tires, but we have Wheel Masters on the front. These are plates with a ring of fluid that balance the tires. They do help and can be moved from coach to coach when you trade.

We purchased an extended warranty from Freedom Care which is now Camping World. When purchased our motor home had 3,000 miles on it. We have had enough claims to more than paid for the purchase price. We will run out in about 2,000 miles at 72,000. My only difficulty is that they always argue with me about payment. Be persistent and your extended warranty will pay for themselves.

Look for outlets in the storage bin below the junction box you mentioned. If they are there, check them. It is not unusual for the outlets that are put in motor homes to have the wiring burn inside the outlet since most only use a push in connection. These are very dificult to find; but if you do, replace the outlet with a better quality outlet that uses screws to clamp the wire. Please let us know what you find.

Usually, a HWH leveling sensor is located under the coach. It is about 4 inches in diameter with three screws holding it. Turning one of the screws will change the sensing of a probe on the other side.
-
We have a sprayer similar to one that would be used at the kitchen sink. Didn't work well because you had to be flushing the toilet for the sprayer to work. Water volume too low. Removed the sprayer from the flush valve, and added a tee to the water line to connect the sprayer. Very good volume. If the toilet didn't flush well, an additional spray finishes the task.

We had a coach with an Onan 7.2 KW LP generator. One day in Kansas near 100 degrees, we used 1 gal per hour runing both air conditioners and the refrigerator. I discussed this high usage with fellow owners of the same unit and got the reply that the usage was normal.

Suggest that you look in the main 120 volt breaker panel to be sure that the breaker that feeds your inventer is on. If you have power there, I would check the actual power input to the inverter.
-
We use the dash heater, but close off the rear of the coach with the bathroom door. If the dash heat is not enough, we set the rear LPG furnace to 60 and the front furnace just high enough to maintain comfort. We have traveled in 10-11 degree temps with comfort this way.

No, a 50 amp power connection requires 4 wires. You can extend your current 30 amp coach cord with the 30 amp male/female cord and then use a 50 amp male plug and 30 amp female to adapt your connection to work on a 50 amp service. You will still only be able to use 30 amps in your coach.

The Indiana Good Sam has a Memorial weekend rally for several years, but I do not know if they still do..

We have towed a 2011 Equinox with automatic transmission for about 30,000 miles with no problems. There is one fuse to pull, but I installed a switch so I don't have to pull the fuse.
-
If it is a Xantrex inverter, the breakers are on the front of the inverter. Once they are turned off and back on and if you still do not have power, look in the main AC Breaker panel for a tripped breaker (probably 30 amp).

Those plates start with a 'C' for Commercial.
