Scott,
Interesting point. The PO replaced the tires with 14in load range D.
He also replaced the rims with 4 stud aluminum, which form what I understand
hubs are no longer available. New axel is in the plans, probably a dexter.
I plan on keeping the systems simple. The unit has the original
fresh water tank and appears to work quite well, around 30 gal capacity. I
use a simple trickle charger for the battry mounted in a drawer in the
front.
Thanks
Martin
