[Philtho]

Our first RV is a 2017 29'FE. We've had a few challenges...house battery and inverter had to be replaced. Circuit from inverter to TV receptacle had a short somewhere in a wall and had to be replaced . Almost every 3/4 and 1" screw in the interior has either gotten loose or fallen out completely. Keep a square drive screwdriver handy along with thicker screws, gorilla glue and plastic wood. The awning motor housing had a crack in it that allowed water in which killed the motor. The shower spigots leaked and had to be replaced. The trap on the outside sink developed a leak which shorted out the drain motor and fridge circuit. The hitch receiver was not bolted on tightly and correctly and we almost lost a storage rack. In spite of these issues we have really enjoyed the RV life. I've become a better handyman. And stay away from CW unless you want to wait for at least 6 weeks to get it back. The Thor technical department has been very helpful. I got to know them on a first name basis. Our next goal is to get a toad to pull behind us so we can set up camp and have our own transportation. In spite of it all we like our RV and it's design.
