I to am having axle problems that effect the brakes, not really sure what to do at this time and if it is a replacement axle it won`t be a lippert axle. Thinking of replaceing with a standarded spring axle

Thumping is normal, if you can call anything about the A/C normal.
 
I, too, never buy extended warranties but did for the pod.

I have had no major issues as of yet, granted it's only a year old.  When I purchased, I did buy the extended warrenty.  Never in my life have I purchased an extended warrenty on anything, not quite sure why I did on the pod.  Maybe for piece of mind, but then how good is it actually if I were to use.  One thing I have noticed however is when my air conditioner compressor goes off there is kind of a thumping noise.

We've had one or two minor issues with ours since buying it last October, but nothing like what you have encountered.

Ours is a 2011 and has been nearly trouble free.  Ours was made in Indiana.  Was yours made out west?

Welcome.  What year is your pod?  Did you buy it from a dealer (new or used) or from another owner?

That's sad to hear of all your problems. Do you travel with the table set up when you travel, this I could see rubbing the front wall. Goose

Wow, we haven't had any problems like that. Everything has worked fine except for the black water tank monitor and connecting a hose (not a drinking water hose) to the spray inlet to help clean the tank when emptying solved that. Most all the problems mentioned should have been fixed under warranty.

Also, welcome to forum.
