So far, every system is working. No leaks, no dead circuits, no issues. The dealer said their check found a couple items but all were fixed. The 22 ACE setting next to ours had workers crawling all over, dealer said it was so bad that Thor sent a couple people to their location to do pre-sales repairs.

The good: All systems are working. The inside is really pretty clean. Nothing appears crooked or broken. Time will tell and we will soon be putting it through a more rigid check out. It is a good lay out. Easy driving and maneuverable for an RV. It seems a good choice if the size and lay out suit you. We ordered mid-year 2021 and got this unit for about $15,000 less than if we ordered one today.

The surprising: No roof ladder. Dealers said shortage caused this. The V8 does not accelerate as strongly as I thought it would but does hold speed on most hills. Not driven in mountains yet so will see. The dashboard shows 10.8 mpg....was hoping for 30mpg (not really).

The bad: A rabbit chased by a coyote runs a straighter line. Seems to behave much the same as previous year models. Even on very smooth roads it wanders. It came with the same "stupid" tiny tires as previous models......this is my opinion.... stronger is better. Reflections on the driverside create some weird sensations when checking the side mirror. It will take a bit to learn what is reflection and what is really being shown in the mirrors.

The real bad: AXXERA monitor screen. Tear off, throw away and replace. It is dark, bad, not clear, grainy, horrid......bearly useable and extremely less so when wearing sunglasses.

Preferences: The gas pedal could be moved 2 inches forward for comfort.
The beds could use a couple more inches in length for me. Not going to say much about the shower....we bought it knowing what it is. We wish the dash AC was colder.

Probably will post again in couple more places and ask questions about some specific fixes. But need to re-read the past posts so as not to get chewed on for not doing a search.... insert smiley here.
A checklist
