Avery has a really neat RV jack stand kit that makes it a lot easier to jack up the airplane. It requires you to modify your axle nuts in a manner that I was too lazy to do, so I paid a couple extra bucks to have them send me a pair of wheel nuts that already had the proper holes cut and slots milled into them. All I had to do was rivet the nutplate onto each one.
I also received my tires from Desser Tire today. These are Michelin Aviators with Airstop tubes – much higher quality than the tires Van's supplies (which I deleted from the finish kit). I used these on my last RV and they lasted forever and hardly ever needed airing up, which is a lot more than I can say about the cheapo Van's-supplied tires and tubes that airplane previously had. I figure it's worth it to spend the extra money here.
And for some reason, my cat loves them:
