What now?

So picked our first brand new 26B last Saturday and wasn't a bad 3hr. drive home besides being a little windy. The following day took the wife and son plus granddaughter for a short drive then it starts, wrench light, check engine light comes on plus tow haul cruise control stop working and runs runs horrible. Next morning start up, chugged like a old steam engine for about 3minutes until it started to smooth out. It's at the Ford dealer for the last 2 days and they still can't find out what's going on, hopefully today they will figure it out. Notified Thor just in case it's there problem. Never have owned a brand new rv until now and I'm starting to think I should have stuck with used. I did get our stuff loaded in but haven't been able to even get the beer loaded in the fridge and camp yet. I think it's in good hands hopefully the problems will be resolved soon. Sorry just needed to rant for a minute.

Tow/haul and cruise not running along with engine not running right points to the engine computer going wonky (yeah a technical term) or some wires coming loose/off sensors.

Ford dealer should be able to get that straightened out.

Thanks, I hoping that's all it is. The Ford service manager did mention that worse case they set the box on the chassis and screwed up the wiring which makes it a thor thing. I don't think they build the motorhome and then set the whole thing on the chassis but I wasn't going into how they build them.

Ford dealer called and all is good, they did 3 days of diagnostic testing and turned out to be loose connections on the pcm.
