Hello. I am Michel...yes that's spelled right. Me and my girlfriend Christine just purchased our first RV together. Out of sorts of nessecity more then pleasure. You see a year ago she wanted to get back into school for a Masters. For her field it meant us move. So we decided instead of trying to find a rental house with a garage, get a toyhauler. Still have house back home. Down in South Florida is expensive and we figured we could live in a RV for 5-6 years.
We have motorcycles so we wanted a garage. Wanted a full size fridge, wanted some decent room so we got a 5th wheel, and wanted something newish so we found a low use used 2016. Narrows down to a few choices we loved the Fuzion FZ420. The amenities and especially the side patio was the selling points.
Being new at this I am sure we will be asking a few questions. Being 12volt experienced, mechanically inclined and working with electronics manufacturing I am always willing to help others.
The past 3months of RV life have been an experience. Nothing terrible but some interesting things.

Thanks!

Cool thanks!

So far I have read alot before we bought. But some experience you only get hands-on.
Keystone needs some quality control improved in final inspection.
Still not found the sub that was to my Samsung HM-K550 soundbar. The soundbar could not find and pair with it either. It's a Dolby 2.1 anyways so I upgraded to the newer version 3.1 with the future option of rear surround to make it 5.1
The tank sensors are useless.
The hook ups area is labeled horribly.
Their idea of wire ties behind the TV is dissapointing. I fixed that myself.
I find some janky workmanship all over.

But there's also alot of cool features and nice things about it.

Glad I didn't pay MSRP or even a new price for it.

Now that you are in the TH category (Big Boy) hopefully you have matched it with an adequate TV or park in at a permanent camp site
