Our 2005 Meridian is the 36G floorplan with the 350 Cat. We love it. There have been very few problems, and I feel the fit and finish is very good.

I always thought that the front aluminum rims and the rear aluminum rims were the same, just reversed, but I have no hard data to support this.

First, what Donavon said. Make sure the cap is off the draw tube ( I forget that almost every time).

I suspect it's due to "build up" on the inside walls of the tank that is causing the outside sensors to read "full". The ice cube trick works for us too.

Do you have a remote control for the dash radio that is attached to the steering wheel? If so, that black thing is probably the sensor for that remote.

On ours, it doesn't look much like a door. More like the back panel of the compartment. The screws are black so they were hard to see.

I plugged a power bar into that outlet, and then use it for the block heater, a Battery Minder, and sometimes tools or lights. It is nothing more than a switched outlet.
