Great news Jack. I would have said to try not to pop wheelies in that thing! On our 5800 mile shakedown cruise in a 30 year old Newell, we had our own issues. Leaking pan gasket, loose engine driven steering pump (Oil everywhere), loss of inverter, loss of fridge and all food, loss of generator, flat steer tire due to puncture and finally Jeep battery being dead. It was fun. Made us realize that life is really an adventure. We got through it all and working on the deficiencies. I am sure there will be another list of deficiencies on the next run. It is what it is. If anything, I could definitely count on that old 2 stroke to not leave me on the side of the road. You just gotta enjoy it and not look at it as a monetary figure.
