It seems the electric system levels the RV front to back and side to side with the front and back jacks. Once the system is level, it lowers the middle jacks.

My dealer told me to take the main water filter out before winterizing. I would think you would also want to remove the refrigerator water filter because there's no way to drain it.

I'd be nervous. I'd say "new camper". If it's a construction issue, I'd say they can fix it and resell it.

I think it's like buying an LED bulb for a lamp at home. The driver is built into the base, so you're really buying both.
