Everything went really well. The only thing I’m really not in love with is the on-demand water heater. It’s located at the front while all the water use fixtures are in the back. It takes a few minutes and several gallons of water to get hot flowing. This isn’t an issue at a camp ground with full hook-ups, but very wasteful if not hooked up.
The AC works great, but is very noisy. We can’t hear the TV when it’s on! Might look into that WACO thing that’s advertised.
The outdoor speakers kinda suck, any bass at all distorts them. But we’ll probably never use them anyway.
I did find that the built-in stereo has all kinds of AV inputs and outputs on the back, so adding a BluRay player and getting the sound from it and the TV to the built-in speakers will be fairly easy.
I have begun my negotiations with Forrest River on the Cargo Capacity issue. The dealer really isn’t any help. The sales guy was shocked when I told him! The service guys say they can only fix what’s broken, so it would be up to Forrest River to make the determination. I have all hailing frequencies open to Forrest River!
Until we resolve the CCC issue, I’m not doing any personalization that requires drilling holes, etc. Just in case we need to take it back.
We love the layout and with the new high-end mattress we purchased a year ago, we slept better than home! I found that tear-down was much faster because of the built in black tank flush and being able to reach the dump handles from a standing position.
A must-have for built-in black flush is one of these in-line water meters. Without one, if you back-fill the tank with the flusher and the gate closed you risk over filling the tank and spilling it into the interior. Using the rinse alone does not clear all the TP left behind. A 25 gallon back fill and dump a couple of times gets it looking very clear.
