bummer.. what issues did you have?

I picked up my 2013 Alpine in September, and only had one minor issue.
mine is a 3720FB.

2013 alpine

My Alpine was delivered from Florida before new keyless entry was delivered, trim issue, no LP Tanks, now the Refrigerator does not cool, waiting on another part to replace. The upside is that another week gives them more opportunity to find anything else. We decided on the 3555RL. My wife loves the floor plan.

good luck.. I was able to pick up at the dealer in Michigan, camp in their lot overnight to test.. only the kitchen faucet was a problem.. they sent it to me (in texas) and I replaced it and sent the clogged one back. but NM to Florida is a long way.

no LP tanks sounds like they sent it unprepped..

I was told the driver even noted the LP tanks not there, but he did not contact the NM dealer. All will be taken care of here in NM.

The fridges in these things are really glorified coolers.. once they GET cold, they can STAY cold if you have a lot of stuff in them.. (sort like ice)..

we also felt it didn't cool well.. adding new foods to the fridge.
they said, fill it, close the doors, wait 24 hours.. and it will be fine..

if you are leaving on a trip, add all the food the day before, let it get cold,
and it will stay cold. if the food is already cold, even better.

guess this is one of the reasons residential fridges are becoming more popular.. they act like the normal fridge.. course take more energy, but can cool quickly, and seem to have better insulation to keep things cool longer without power (cause u aren't gonna run these as you drive down the road).
