Radnee,

I agree with Jazz, request a copy of Ed's manual and use the PDI checklist in it.

Another idea, ask for the name of the former owner and contact them to see why they traded in the unit.

As most on this Forum we have had a few problems with our Vegas 24.1 (the Axis' South Eastern Cousin). Fortunately persistence, patience and a good service department at the local CW of Statesville and most of the problems have been corrected. We are still awaiting a replacement panel for the cover over the water heater in the hall...Thor has sent the wrong part three times (hence the need for patience).

Except for the problem I had with the Harris Batteries, the WFCO Converter and THor warranties (thread can be found on this Forum) all other repairs on our RV have been covered by Warranty. I would advise you to check out the coach batteries. These are the two batteries under the steps and provide 12V power to the RV part of the rig and the dashboard radio.

If yours are Harris Batteries see if the dealership has had any problem keeping them charged while they have had the unit on the lot. At 4 months of ownership with 2000 miles I had to buy two new batteries when I learned about "Sufate Dead" batteries not being covered by any of the warranties (Harris blamed WFCO, WFCO blamed Harris and Thor, everyone blamed each other for not properly recharging the batteries - BEFORE I even took ownership).

If your Unit has Harris Batteries maybe you can get the Dealership to swap out the Harris Batteries to "seal the deal".

Overall we really like the RV and recently swapped out the Couch for two recliners!

Good Luck and happy RV'ing
