I'll leave off the petty fixes that the dealer will take care of ie, alignment, bed coming off tracks, doors not latching, blah blah.
My biggest concern is the invert er, it appears to not be working. 12volt power works in the coach but I'm getting a e05 code despite being fully charged. Put it on on auto mode and the generator has to run to keep the fridge cooled. I tried the GFI in the bathroom (it was tripped) but didn't fix the problem, I reset all the breakers I could find but maybe I'm missing something. I'll bring my 12volt tester home tonight to make sure the invert er is getting power but did I miss a reset some where that might keep me from being held hostage by the dealer?
The dealer is already aware of the problem and trying to get me in this week before my planned trip this weekend. I'm willing to work with them, I even said I'll order another one and install it my self, keep it as a spare. I'd hate to be dry camping for an extended time and have to run my generator full time to keep the fridge cool. The service guy said it would void my warranty.
Are inverters going out a frequent thing? I was already hesitant about a residential fridge, this is kinda what I was worried about.
Also had an issue with the slide out, first time using it this past weekend and it got stuck open, had to do the manual override. Then it went in once it was reset. Hopefully that's not a frequent thing to go bad.
Thanks for your time, I hate to sound like a whiny first time RV owner but it's a little concerning after one trip so many issues.

Which outlaw do you have and which slide got stuck?
We had problems with the large slide on our 2016 38RE. The motors seemed stressed when opening and closing and would get out of sync very easily. Ultimately our motors had to be replaced and I was told by the dealer that the later production models had an upgrade in the slide motors due to multiple problems. I did not confirm this with Thor. After the motors were replaced have not had any other problems.
