The nylon plug should be pretty easy to install/remove as long as you have a 15/16ths socket and a 6" (or longer) extension for a standard socket-wrench driver. Do be sure the water heater is cold before doing anything, and release any pressure with the pressure relief valve (up and to the right) before you try to remove the plug.

In our Axis the driver and passenger side curtains are retained with cloth and Velcro "swags" that wrap around the curtains and stick to a bit of Velcro on the wall behind the windows. The fabric matches the curtains. They may be there, but would blend into the curtains if you don't know what you are looking for.

What exactly is the problem with cable? If it's not working at all the most likely cause is that the antenna booster is "ON". It has to be on to get over the air broadcasts from the crank-up antenna.

BUT, it must be "OFF" to use the cable connection. In our's the control box is in the cabinet above the sink, way at the back. I'm 5' 10", and I still have to use a stool to be able to see it and turn it on/off.

Welcome to the Axis community! Hopefully you'll like you unit as much as we all do once you get the kinks worked out! Motorhome ownership is not for the faint of heart. There is always something to fix, replace, or improve!

Randy
As a potential newbie, that last paragraph is what worries me the most. "Motorhome ownership is not for the faint of heart. There is always something to fix, replace , or improve."

The problem is I'm not a mechanic at all. I don't have any tools except for a couple of crescent wrenches and screw drivers, and I'm not real handy with them. And I'm 69 years old. In pretty good shape, but 69 is 69 right. I'm wanting to get an RV like this, but i'm afraid after reading these blogs that i'm not qualified to fix some of this stuff that goes wrong on the road. I'm curious if some of you regular RVers would like to comment on this. Plus, the Thor products seem to be unreliable at best and junk sometimes. Are all the RVs the same? Junk that needs constant repair on the go? Just curious on your thoughts. Pretty hard to spend $70,000 on something that needs constant repair and maintenance. Be cheaper to just go to a $150 motel every night wouldn't it?
