First off, so far we love our RV. We have a couple of drives and one over nighter under our belt in our first two weeks of ownership. We definitely see this being a big part of our lives.
Since buying the RV, we're encountering some of the typical shoddy build quality everyone talks about. Couple that with a half-assed walk through and PDI and we are where we expected to be... fixing our own small issues.
Missing or broken list so far:
14 screws have rolled out from under things
the screen door latch is missing
one drain plug for a cargo compartment is missing
the drop down bunk gets stuck on the seatbelt cover
The controller box for the cameras was just stuffed up in the wiring rats nest and immediately fell out
There's a shorted wire going to the head unit causing the cameras to blink
At 50 mph there's a whistle at the drivers window that would wake the dead
Front left tire seems to be out of balance causing a slight shake
There's a latch missing on the tv cabinet in the bedroom, causing the tv to flip up every time the RV hits a bump
The wall trim inside the outside kitchen is not attached well (you can see daylight from inside the coach)
4 different keys are required to open the cargo doors
The slide makes an awful screech when being brought in
Of course, the dealer is 2 hours away so I'll likely address most of this stuff myself. Our biggest complaint? Whomever it is at Thor who purchases their crappy cupholders needs to be drawn and quartered. We came home and immediately did surgery on those. Completely useless.
We are looking forward to many years of practice with this RV until we retire in about 11 years. Then we'll upgrade to a diesel pusher! I'm still nervous about hooking our motorcycle trailer up to this thing but... I've got good insurance!
