I have no idea, but I also dislike the cabinets. I cant tell you how many times my wife or I have hit our heads, never mind the kids.

I have also not heard of issues with Ford's CP4. Ram, for sure. I guess it's bad enough that they decided to go back to the CP3.

I guess my other option would be to put an AUX tank inside the trailer. Then I can just gravity feed it into the main tank when needed.

2012 X213 Mods

I installed a MaxxFann last week and we did our first trip since all of these mods happened. The MaxxFann definitely has some serious power. It will pull the bathroom door shut.
