I didn't realize that the gearbox was supposed to "wobble" - but that's good to know. At least I know that's normal.

Hi there,

Congrats on your Bullet firstly!

You don't mention what brand of door it is? It will either be made by Lippert, or possibly by Dexter? I have a Dexter, and had an issue also.

Thanks Turbodog.

Although your situation doesn't sound great, it confirms for me that this isn't an "entry level only" issue. Under the kitchen area there is a fresh water tank as well as the 2nd...
