j37genie - great advise! Sounds like a gennie problem is in your past - darn sure was for us! I would take this all a step further - exercise EVERYTHING at least a few times (furnace, jacks, gennie, hot water heater (electric and gas mode), microwave, television (cable/OTA and signal amp), slides, bunks - everything. Once is simply not enough. The other piece of advise - have them point out where everything is located. Make sure you include some of the more critical electronic components (slide motor synch modules, inverter, ground fault isolation plugs, inline breakers for house batteries and chassis to house charging, if you have the remote camping module where it is at, etc). Being covered by a warranty is great but the first time you're setting in a campground and cannot retract a slide or cannot get any power to your from your house batteries or you cannot retract your jacks - you will be glad you did.

Everyone of these things have happened to us - easy fix when you know where these components are located. Alternative is you can wait on warranty service to show up and do the work.

Loose wires, blown fuses, tripped breakers and tripped GFIs happen - it is just how a house on wheels roll.

When these things happen and you aren't sure what to do - come on back and ask the question. Most of us have a few knowledge knots from slamming into these issues and raising a knot on our heads.

After all of this - enjoy!!! We love our Challenger.
