Oh man, it's a great coach so far, this is my 4th RV, first motorhome, differences are subtle.

- the range vent exhaust is into the motorhome, not outside. This is ridiculous on any RV, going back to the dealership to get this corrected.

- the overhead television is on a kill-switch, when the engine is started, the outlet the TV is connected to goes dead, going to work to disconnect this. Kids like to play video games while on trip.

- mine has a broken television amp for the antenna (green light doesn't come on), this was working at the dealership, not now, all fuses are intact.

- there are outlets by both sides of bed in the master bedroom, the one closest to the bathroom is the same color as the wood, so we thought there wasn't one there.

- Airflow between master and the A/C seem to be constricted with the door closed, not surprising at all.

- The bunk beds televisions need to be moved over away from the outlets so the kids can use the ac outlets to charge stuff.

Going to:

- Install Vent Covers, Vent Pillows on 3 of the 4 overhead vents
- Need to get a 30 amp service on side of the house
- Going to install a removable gas grill and plumbing (probably get CW to do this)
- Wife doesn't like mattress, says too hard (I like it, but I can step on asphalt)

We forgot some much stuff, including coffee. But hey, that's why you do a shakedown trip, next time we will not forget so much.

Good luck,
T
