No dimples so far. I'll use knee pads next time though.
My late night fantasy was more about crashing through the roof. Guess this laminate is pretty strong.

Another irritating issue with the Elkmont. I mentioned earlier that the water pump was noisy. Finally got around to reading the Shurflo installation and operating manual and it says: "The pumps ports/strainer *should not* be connected to plastic or rigid pipe. The pump's normal vibration may transmit through rigid plumbing causing noise, and possibly loosen or crack components."

Well guess what? While on the tank side of the pump Trailmanor used a nice, soft plastic tubing with braid reinforcement, on the other side the pump is attached directly to the hard plastic plumbing used throughout the rest of the water system. I bet that's where the noise is coming from. All they needed to do was put about a foot of the soft stuff between the pump and city water input tee. What were they thinking? I guess they just weren't.
