If you search the Fifth Wheel forum for 2018 Eagle HT changes you should get the changes from 2017. My 27.5 RKDS is a 2018 and I am glad I read about the changes as they were making table and chairs standard instead of optional. We wanted the booth setup.

Thumbs up Eagle 293 RKDS 2018

Well we picked our new 5'er up last thur's and all seams to be good. Our walk through went well. No squeaks, or leak's,and everthing works like it should. Every one should go around and torque your nuts. I found all my lug nuts to be in the 90 ft lb to 110 ft lb. On aluminum rim's they should be in the 140 to 150 ft lb if I'm not mistaken. First time out this wk end so well see if all goes well. FFD

That seems high for 6 lug. Does your 293 have 8 lug? I torque mine to 95.

Please post pics! Booth or table and chairs?

I just looked it up, torque for 1/2" studs is 90 to 120. 9/16" studs are 120 to 130. You should have 6k axles with 6 lug 1/2" studs. 8 lug would be 9/16".

I have 6000 axle, 8 lug all alum rims, I reset my torque at 115 ft lb. Found it on page 45 Thanks. Just a FYI, the reset button on the countertop receptacle on the right hand side runs your out side frig, and the ceiling fan. if it is tripped. and your fuses are good. this is on my unit.
