Great layout with plentiful storage.
Upon delivery I made some modifications. I added vent covers to protect from hail damage and I cut down the RV King bed to a standard queen, in order to make more room for making the bed.
I brought the unit home from the dealer and made the above modifications, then I put the unit in storage; about 40 minutes, each way, from home.
When I brought the unit out of storage last week to make our first trip I noted that the clothes rod, hanger strip, in the hall closet had fallen, with nothing on it.
I rehung the rod using larger, shorter, screws and put a screw in every hole.
Upon arrival noted the clothes rod, hanger strip, had come down on one side, bent, and was being held up by the one screw the was in a cross strut.
Built frame out of oak 1 x 2 after returning home and reattached clothes rod, hanger strip.
Shortly after arriving noticed that there was something hanging under unit with some wire. Inspection revealed that an access had been cut into the bottom cover and then taped up and the tape did not adhere. I retaped with duct tape, but it did not hold. I retaped with carpet tape today, not sure if it will hold??????
When using the DVD player there were lines on the TV and I could not get the sound to come through the TV speakers.
Removed DVD player and moved L and R speaker wires from input to output.
Upon leaving the camp site it was noted that the USB charging outlet under the TV was not working.
Ordered replacement on Amazon.
When my wife opened the freezer, at the camp site, the beauty panel fell out. I reinstalled the panel, but it fell out again when we were unloading the unit after we returned home. This time I put carpet tape on the top and bottom of the panel prior to reinstalling. We'll see.
While taping the access panel under the unit I noticed that the holes where the lines and pipes came out from under the rig were not completely sealed. I used some high density foam to thoroughly seal the openings.
Noticed that some of the exterior trim screws are coming out and I will replace those with aluminum pop rivets.
I'm a little annoyed but overall happy with the unit. We really like the layout.
