Carbon 327 First Trip & Questions

We just bought a Carbon 327. This is probably our 8th new RV so we are well aware of the problems every new trailer has. We take a sheet of note paper and list the things we find. No surprise we have a bout 10 issues. The main ones are a very dirty fuel tank, and I mean dirty. i am used to fuel stations and the nozzles getting dirt in them as you drive. So my first 1/2 pint or so go in the dirt just to clean it out. Then I put about 1.5 gallons in plastic fuel can. The gas was brown and had large Pieces of something at the bottom of the container. We used this in a fire and I pumped more out and it was just as bad. We did run the Gen for a while before I found this out so if there is a fuel filter on the gen, it will need to be changed. Next found out the three 12v battery that were installed have no strapping or securing hardware. The batteries have a fair amount play and literally bang into the storage door. I called Keystone and was told I had to figur out a way to secure these batteries. Really?

You have three batteries on it? Are they on curb side in the two trays?

My Carbon 357 has 2 batteries and they aren't strapped down either. When I asked the dealer the kind of shrugged their shoulders. For now I'm going to put some good bungies on them but if you figure something better out, post back here if you could.
