Light

If it's the oval shaped light fixture I'm thinking of, it has a cheap China made switch that fails. I bought an exact replacement LED light fixture. Camping World has them in the retail section.

Handy

I'm sorry to bear bad news, but there's no end to problems. Pray that you don't have slide-out, suspension, frame, or roof problems.

You don't need to install metal valve stems if you don't mind screwing off the sensor to add air. I didn't find that a huge problem for 4 tires. If you have high quality tires, you probably don't...

Good advice. I prefer holding a grille lighter beside one rsnge burner until it lights. That way I avoid concentrated gas around the stove. Once the stove works, everything else generally works.
