Makes you wonder about the intelligence (lack of) of the person who did the installation of your Equa-flex, that could have cost you and your family"s lives. You should probably report this to Home | National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)

Glad you caught that in time. I'll bet a lot of us are heading out to the driveway to check clearances right about now.

One of the benefits of replumbing it is that I won't have to climb/reach under the slide to hookup my outdoor kitchen stove.

My Wildcat had the same issue. Leading axle's shackle bolt rubbed it bad enough to break the bolt for the retaining clamp. Be glad it's mounted outside and not enclosed by the underbelly where it would be retained. If it wore enough for a gross leak the propane tank flow shut off valve would close. No worries.

The other advantage is you might not blow up while going down the road.
Makes me appreciate those who say turn off at the tank during travel.
