Welcome to the forum

Your 2018 Alpine isn’t “inferior” to the other 2018’s. Manufacturers make changes midstream all the time and have to use a cut off date. We had a customer order a unit from the factory (not Keystone), she assumes that she would get the bbq quick connect. Turns out the factory stopped putting them on and the LAST ONE was the one in front of hers. She was that close, does it make her unit inferior? No it just didn’t have what the one before it did.

Us techs sometimes have a real hard time keeping up with the changes as there isn’t any “bulletin” issued to dealers. I have done 2 units, same floor plan built 6 months apart and be outfitted differently. It’s normal in the RV industry, is it right? I’m not going to get into that discussion.
