Just a few things, ok, probably more than that. I've owned a camper for 8+ years and upgraded from a TT to a 5th wheel two months ago and we bought the 326RDS. Absolutely LOVE the layout but am noticing issues with it and would love some feedback.
First, the freaking galley drain handle is NOT where the other two handles are and the person at Camping World who walked us through the camper didn't show it to us. It took a backed up galley tank and my snooping around under the trailer to find the black handle against the black plastic in the wheel well. Soooo frustrating.
Second...and I'll just go off here. I'm noticing little things that make me think this thing is cheap. Maybe I'm spoiled by the Rockwood TT we had because the material and construction seem to be way better. It's back at Camping World for the second time already for them to repair it but here is a list of issues in the first month:
- screen door won't close or stay closed
- hot water heater won't work using gas, only electric
- toilet leaks when you step on lever to flush
- table held down by what appears to be four 2" wood screws that are stripped (had to jam broken toothpicks in there to get it to hold but seems like something that should have been bolted underneath)
- plastic latches (I had extras installed on big storage compartments) are crap and two have already broken
- noticing wood dust all around fireplace and tv every time we travel
- sound system stinks...soundbar sounds hollow, almost don't want to use it
- particle board flooring and from what I can tell no insulation
- carpet without any kind of padding on the floor...just seems cheap.
- two of our shades had holes in them
- recliners are hard to shut while sitting and the left one won't shut at all unless you stand up and shut it (hitting metal)
I think there may be more but I'm really not happy with the quality so far and have a feeling when we take it to Hershey Park in December that i'm going to be even more disappointed because I have a feeling it's not going to stay warm even though the sticker by the door indicates it's "below zero."
Maybe I expected too much but I'm looking for any thoughts or comments.
Oh yeah, BTW. NOT impressed with Camping World in Swedesboro NJ at ALL. Had it there for over a week and they managed to fix NOTHING. I was told they had to order all the parts from the manufacturer? Doesn't seem right. I left a VM for the general manager three days ago and apparently it's beneath him to call a concerned customer.
Rant over...just extremely disappointed so far.
