Wildcat Maxx 23dks

Hello everyone,

We just picked up our 23DKS yesterday and noticed upon parking it, that there is a pretty loud noise coming from what seems to be the rear axles. Is this normal? The noise is best described as a popping sound.

Aside from that, we are looking forward to planning our first trip! We have never owned a camper before, so I am sure we will have a lot of questions.

Oh...I just thought of another one...On the model we bought, there is a switch on the center island, just behind and down from the faucet. The dealer employer that gave us the how to work our trailer tour, didn't know what it was for...then we forgot to ask at the service desk. Any ideas?

Thanks.

On our 28RKX Wildcat Maxx that toggle switch is for the tank heaters to keep the tanks from freezing in cooler weather!
As far as the popping goes, are you sure it's not the WD hitch ( assuming your using one)?
Does it happen only when you apply the brakes? Could be the brakes "grabbing" due to being brand new!
