I was told that the manual override, crank nut was below the stove in my new R Pod 178. Do I have to remove the panel to get to it? I can see a black metal box surface in the space below the slide, but no nut. This is just in case I need to manually move the slide in some day.

Also, why do some people change to 15 inch wheels? Will the axle support them and will they fit without modifications if I were to want to change. As for now, I see no reason the mfg. would have not put them on if there were significant benefits. i prefer not to have to buy new wheels if it is not a big issue.
