Re: Water pump issue
Thank you all! I just got out of the Yellowstone with no Internet connection.
But all your suggestions did not work out. I could still have missed something or there may be some factory defect just like my solar panel (that was fixed). I will visit my dealer next week.

Re: Burner goes out on stove
Having "borrowed" LuckyJ's awesome stove wind deflector and used it, I find it one of the best, cheapest and easiest mods yet. I used 1 1/2" aluminum...
CORRECTED! THIS IS ACTUALLY 2" TALL! 
for mine which resulted in the top of the windscreen sticking up above the burner deck. That's fine, until you try to use a pan larger than the diameter of the burner shield. I resolved to solve the problem and came up with an easy solution.
I picked up a 12 inch piece of 1/4" aluminum tubing, cut it to length and pop-riveted it to the lip of the burner shield with 3/16" aluminum rivets. I also drilled a tiny (1/16") hole in the tubing underneath to act as a pressure relief.
Now my frying pan and kettle sit nice and secure without acrobatics.
I might add a couple more but for now, I'm happy with it.

Memorial day weekend at Pontiac Recreation Area
New Tag was ordered today!
I sold my A frame camper yesterday and just put a deposit down on a 2019 Tag XL Edge.
I should have it by mid July and can't wait to become a functioning member of this forum.

"Fibber McGee's" mobile kitchen and laundry service!
The 3 of us finally got to do a weekend. It's something of an organizational nightmare but we had a great time and sharpened our chops on what to bring for 3. It's a bit like planning an Apollo mission. 3 people in about the same space as an Apollo command module.
We put the new awning stays to good use drying towels post-beach. As it turned out, we didn't need the extra cooler for edibles but it came in handy off-grid as a side table and refreshment locker. There turned out to be plenty of bunk space for mama, papa and Sprocket. (He's 9). Kathy was concerned about claustrophobic sleeping quarters but that turned out to not be a problem. She says she's ready for a more adventurous trip so we'll do a summer tour of the Badlands and Black Hills next.

Re: Cabinet and galley mods
After replacing the removable water jug/tank with a permanent 11 gallon tank, there was a couple inch tall, full depth space between the top of the new tank and the bottom of the cook-top. Using a purchased bamboo flatware divider I fabricated a drawer to utilize the space. it hides behind the stock cabinet door when closed.
Looking at @CampHub pictures , I thought this approach would work in the T@G galley.
It is one of our favorite galley mods.
Have fun !!

Re: Getting all the water out of the water tank
I'm just curious-would a factory solution have the outlet on the bottom of the tank and the tank sitting on maybe 1 1/2" feet, 1 on each corner. Would that allow enough space for a drain or would that reduce usable space too much? Is the tank material strong enough to handle the pressure without bowing in the middle away from the corner supporting feet? Alternatively, I wonder why the tank can't drain directly out of a drain in the bottom of the tank through the floor? Would the jostling of the rear of the trailer be a potential problem?
