First I think they should take the caulk gun away from the monkey! The stereo doesn't work, the furnace doesn't work. The screws holding the strike were stripped during assembly so door won't secure had to repair myself. Zero caulk in the bathroom which allows water under the walls. One of the bolts securing the body to the frame was just barely finger tight. The back seam of the yoof membrane had separated.recaulked it myself since dealer was quoting four days!?!? Poor workmanship throughout. Awning material pulling away from the roof edge. Discovered the sink faucet was partially blocked by pvc shavings. Went back to the dealer and looked at two others. Same story, staples shot through in the compartments causing safety issues. As others have said shoddy electrical connections causing problems. Gaps in the caulk around the bathroom vent pipe. The screws holding the rock guard on the front were too short . After 40 miles all but one had fallen out. There must be 0.0% QC at the plant. Every nook & craney is full of sawdust & shavings. Really the only good thing is it looks pretty going down the road!

We bought a Diamond in the rough brand new from the builder. On delivery there were several deficiencies. These included damage to the unit through shipping.
Beyond the bent and broken pieces, the roof leaked at the top of galley opening ang there were several electrical issues.
Attempts to deal with the vendor were met with yelling and swearing.
After much research and some trial and error I managed to get all of the items fixed. But it was way more of a headache than I hoped for or expected.
I had other purchasers reach out to me based on my review on a Teardrop FB site. Seems my experiences were not unique. The FB site itself had even banned this seller.
