Hi.
Ron has great ideas for you. Here are a couple more.

Re: tow package

Re: Which engine/oil filter?

Weighing in on this issue may be somewhat dangerous, but here I go again.

Oh, to explain why I would put them over the damaged wood. There is no easy way to remove the wood. You would have to remove the slide (IMHO) in order to cut away or otherwise replace the wood.

Thanks for starting a new thread, satellite is one thing that must bug the majority of RV'rs.
