You're more than welcome, Eric. My phone number's just below my posts if we can ever help with anything — though despite being full-time on the road for 38 months, we only bought the bus just prior to living in it so there's more I don't know than what I do!
My wife had a malpracticed stroke that forced us to live remotely, so just know you have support if we can give it. From what I've read here — though I only infrequently check in — it appears there's others as well and I think it's safe to say many are pulling for you. The world sucks without that.
Best to you.
