Looking to buy Tracer 255AIR

Looking at a new 2016 model but PT is no longer making this model.
It's at a dealer in Washington State but the price is comparable to Midwest prices.
Has a lot of things we like with a few weeks don't. But that's with any RV.

Some questions:

Has EZ Tow axles, which are far apart. What tandem wheel chocks work with these?
Kitchen sink faucet seems cheap. Any problems with it?
How good is the Extreme Thermal Package?
Has a lot pre-connect at the bumper. Anyone have a grill bumper mount to recommend?

Thanks for any responses.

We have owned 2 prime time models, Trace and a Lacrosse.
We us the x-chock extended model and also block the wheels. Do like the way EZ-tow handles on the road. Backing is easier with a closer wheel tandem, but it's very doable.

No issues with sink faucets on either unit, yet. But do agree I have seen better.

Used this type of grill for years on a bumper swing arm, it does the job.. Don't like the grills that stay on the bumper while towing.http://ouioutdoors.com/product/bumpe...-arm-assembly/

Prime Time is well known for having cap fade issues.
