SparkDr - Yes, the chains are at a slight angle, but as I mentioned in my OP, I'm installing the cams tomorrow, and the position of the cams and mounts should have the chains hanging dead straight. ...

I was thinking more like a Prevost. And American cars are the same, but most would agree a Mercedes s500 is expected/presumed to be a higher quality than any caddy/Lincoln.

240k is big money for sure. I guess my point was quality is expected/presumed to be higher on a high end RV. Though that holds true with almost anything you buy.

You'll be at 15 amps on your house hold outlet, so it just going to trip the breaker if you try. Lights, TV, Refer you should be ok. A/C and microwave, not so much.

That is exactly how I did it. At 14 on the controller, I can barely feel any drag. They recommend starting at 6, so I think there should be more brake feel considering I'm double that.

After a ton of reading and research, I have...

Brake Feel

On the new X18D, I don't feel like the brakes are "grabbing" hard enough when I engage the brake controller manual lever. I'm comparing to my bosses 5er that could stop the whole rig by themselves. ...
