    Roof vent?

    It's not a problem if you leave it off. You will just get a couple of gallons of rain water per year in your holding tank.

    2 electric heaters

    They should work as long as they are on separate legs of the 50 amp.

    Changing a tire with the 6 point auto level system

    Many of use the level up to raise the unit for changing tires. Personally I leave it hooked to the truck but it's not necessary. Heartland doesn't recommend it for liability reasons.

    Opinions on heating when off grid.

    I have used a buddy heater for years. Never cracked a window. There is enough air leakage in these rv's you won't need to. Generally run it on low because high made it too warn.

    Single wheel or dually?

    Sailun tire blowout.

    Sailun tire blowout.

    On my way to the Mississippi rally an my 5 year old Sailun blew out. Tire pressure monitor didn't alert so it didn't lose air. I had just taken the cruise control off to pull into a rest area when it blew. The tread stayed enact but the sidewalls were destroyed. Waited 2 and 1/2 hours for road...

    Tow Vehicle Tires

    I found that Firestone Transforce had poor traction on wet roads. On wet pavement I had to really ease the throttle down or the tires would spin. This was on a single rear wheel towing a 34 foot 5er.
