[a/s] Maintenance questions



Well, we got the Silver Suppository moved out of the driveway (thank God)
and up in it's summer home (Pioneer, CA, elevation 4,000 feet).

A check of the trailer revealed two problems thus far:

The two batteries discharged completely on us, and I have no idea why. Is
there a charging outlet for them somewhere (besides the plug), or do I
have to physically pull them out of the trailer and charge them that way?
Seems like a lot of work.

And it seems my left directional signal light bulb is burned out. I
didn't take off the dome to remove the bulb--is this a standard
replacement, or did the factory deliberately use something strange and
weird to ensure we go nuts trying to get another one?

We also found that if the frame of the trailer isn't supported really
well on the jacks on all four corners, the entire body will wrack to the
point where you can't close the door and have it latch. So if anyone else
runs into that problem...
