Since my last post of 2/27 and 2/28 in the new member section, our dealer was able to switch our table and chairs in our Cougar Xlite 29FKS for a brand new dinette booth which has the fancier Sedona Suede pattern as found in the Cougar 324RLB and the Cougar Xlite 30FKV New XV Series to name a couple. Initially our sales person had mentioned there would be a cost associated with it because of labor, but at the end, we weren't charged anything which is the way it should be anyway. We finally picked it up on April 17th and we took it on its maiden voyage (a long weekend) on the May 21-24 Victoria Day weekend.
Everything worked like a charm except the TV. For some reason, we didn't turn it on while doing our PDI as who would think that a brand new set would not work.... Well if you push the Power button on the remote or on the set directly, you hear a click, then there's a brief flicker of light on the screen, then everything is black with no sound at all. You can't even get the menu to show on the screen!!!
Oh and there was a little oopsie on my part. Being that this is our very first TT, we didn't realize that the blinds' cords are very tight for transport purposes and when I was trying to close the blind on one of the small window in the slide-out, I forced it a little bit too much and the cord broke. I couldn't believe it when the dealer said he would just order another blind under the warranty. I didn't think that those types of breakage would be covered but I'm sure glad the dealer is replacing the whole thing as opposed to us having to restring the blind....They've shipped the TV back to Keystone for them to send us another unit which better work properly.....!:)
We've discovered other mods we need to do and/or want to do like reduce the noise of the water pump, reading lights above the bed, change the thermostat, etc...
We've reserved 3 more extended weekends in July and August and will probably go in September as well. That's plenty of time to tinker around and do the mods.
We wish everyone a great camping season!
