A new RV is like a new home, you always have a list of repairs that are needed, but there are a couple I wanted to see if anyone else has seen a couple of them, or least warn people.

1. Jacks did not level. Turns out that the right / left front hoses are reversed. So, when the system tries to push on left, the front right and rear left jacks move. This is dangerous as the frame can torque, but also this means that the unit was never level set at the factory. Easy to detect, look at those color band and the color on the wire to the valve, they should match.

2. Entry door slight warp on the outside and the inside is bubbled. Turns out the dark vinyl decals hold to much heat from the sun and melts the insulation thus warping the door. We never went over 80 degrees, but did have the sun facing the door. You can hear the creeks when the sun hit the door.

The dealer and Thor are handling these without any issues, ie. simple hose switch on the jacks and whole new door/frame. But seems like both of these speak to very poor quality control.
