T and J,
As noted in the reference above to a post of mine, the biggest cost is the acutator. Plan on spending about $1500 - $2300 if you do the work yourself.

My Monty wheels are rated at 85 psi and I believe 3300 lbs. The rating on the aluminum rims is cast into the rim on the inside of the spoke. Just crawl under the RV and look for it.

Just filled up: $84.50 @ $3.199 gallon. Gas is $2.749. Really ticks me off. If I'm going to have to pay more then the diesel should be filtered so clean that I don't need the filters I have to run on...

I have found no trace that a subwoofer was ever in the trailer. This spring I will pull the stereo out of the cabinet and check the wiring to see if a subwoofer is even supported.
