I always unhooked them for any back in maneuver. The trouble was always lifting the tongue enough in the road to get them on/off.

It shouldn’t be moving, but mine came with pins and several places drilled along the track to pin it.
It might be time to replace the motor.

Modified Sine Wave power for 2019 X17Z

Are you sure you filled the heater, and it’s not on bypass? As stated above, that will kill the element quickly. They are generic, and can be replaced at almost any hardware store for under $10.

That seems ridiculous. Many people drive hours just to purchase the exact unit they want. Many people move before their warranty period is up.

Many things run only on 12V. If the battery is disconnected and not acting as a buffer, your converter is getting punished. It will shorten the life of your converter.
