Finally dried out enough to do a test run in the backyard... Everything went perfect... After playing with the tent and practicing. I got it packed away the way I like it and able to set up up by myself in mild wind..

I'm starting to worry- my son has strep throat, and my wife either hurt her back or is having gall bladder issues. On top of that, my truck is having an intermittent binding somewhere in the drivetrain. It has done it twice now, driving down the road and I hear and feel this loud pop somewhere under my vehicle. If my wife isn't getting surgery in the next few days, I'll be there no matter what, but my truck may break on the run. I'll just plan on it breaking and see what happens. If it does, I can at least have a plan to get it towed back ahead of time.

Can't comment on the wife or kid but It sounds like your rear end is getting engaged. You sure you have not popped out the 4 x 4 knob and engaged the locker?

If not try it. Try locking it and going fwd and backward. Disengage and go fwd and backward and see if its still messin up. Bet you didn't know the knob was pulled out.

Had a delivery guy in a f 250 make a u turn in our parking lot. Crunch and bucked the whole time. I stopped him and asked if he had a locker. We looked and he did and I poped the switch in and no more binding. He never EVEN knew he had an electric locker.

I agree with BDRAG... Mine mysteriously (wife or kids.. no one will fess up) was engaged, and I thought I screwed something up bad, by the dragging followed by a loud pop from the rear end.. I stopped and pulled out the knob and pushed it back.. Everything has been fine so far..
