Yep, those are exactly my concerns with it. Hopefully the design process pushes that finite number high enough to be irrelevant for our purposes, but I don't want to deliberately install a potential point of failure that could have truly disastrous consequences on the highway. I wouldn't consider preaching that opinion to anyone else thinking of using them because I have absolutely no personal experience with those ones in particular, but I wouldn't feel comfortable using them myself until I had demonstrated their robustness for myself under worse conditions than I would likely ever experience. Even so, if I had some lengths lying around, I would definitely use them in less critical applications until I was comfortable with them.
As well, this IS going to be a winter camping rig, though hopefully it'll be taking me somewhere warmer during this long Xmas break each year
Enough goofing off, gotta get back to work on the build !
