Being a 'vintage' AS owner, many of the 'New Trailer' issues aren't in my hemisphere...

That being said, it's refreshing to read Bob's comments on these issues, published here in the open, 'warts' and all, as it were - and that AS is making an effort to give some of our constructive comments their consideration...

Let's not forget, the Mfg process is a complicated process, with new materials and vendor components coming into the 'light' every year...some of these 'upgrades' or changes take time to accomplish, especially during the current economic climate when many factories are trying to keep their people employed and return some kind of profit...

I enjoyed reading Bob's comments about the water pump installation -one of my long time RV Mfg. concerns - I look forward to seeing what they come up with - a more accessible location for field repairs of an item that only fails when we're using our rigs on the road - along with the noise issue - better sound isolation should be designed into this system right from the factory, IMHO...

Thanks again, Bob for your comments...
