You bought an unstable motorhome. They aren't all that way. It's your
own fault for not checking the wb-to-length ratio beforehand and for
not giving it a test drive in heavy truck traffic.

You lack experience with motorhomes. Try harder. You'll find it if
you really want to. If you just want to bitch about it, you won't.

You bought a motorhome with inadequate holding tanks. They aren't all
that way. It's your own fault.

You bought a motorhome with inadequate kitchen counter space. They
aren't all that way. It's your own fault.

You bought a motorhome without a gas oven. They aren't all that way.
It's your own fault.

You bought a motorhome with teeny sinks. They aren't all that way.
It's your own fault.

You need to learn when, where, and how to unhook the car. It's easy
when you know how and remember to think ahead. If you're having
trouble, it's your own fault.
No one made you choose a Brake Buddy. There are much better systems,
ones that don't need to be disconnected. It's your own fault.
I wish you and your not-so-new motorhome the best of travels.
