Hello everyone, looks like most of you are not having any issues with your trailers and 5th wheels. Well, let me tell you mine and maybe someone can help. We ordered our 2011 326MKS in November 2010, it finally arrived and we picked it up February 2011. It was then off to Scottsdale, AZ to spend the month of March with the Colorado Rockies baseball team who had just moved into their brand new spring training baseball complex with whom they share with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Anyway, first stop was in New Mexico for the first night and turned on the furnace and found that there was no air coming out of the floor registers. I had to remove the access panel where the furnace is and found out the main heater duct was not hooked up. It was lying on the floor. After getting to Scottsdale, and got things hooked up, found that the hot water line at the kitchen sink was leaking. Did my best to stop the leak but finally had to put a bowl on the floor to catch the water. Some other items I found during the shake down cruise was...the screen door would not latch, toilet seat was loose, the seal under the bedroom slide was not installed properly, found some staples protruding from the wood by the radio. When removing the sewer cap, seems like there is excessive pressure. Sense getting back to Colorado......the rubber roof is starting to get large bubbles in it, the fender skirt (large panel) on drivers side was never attached properly, the electric awning arms on the end closes to the door do not extend like they should, one of the couch front cover pieces fell off. Now for the most pressing issue is the electrical. We finally went dry camping last weekend and we were only able to get a half days use out of the battery. I have never owned a RV where I only got a half day from the battery. The battery the Dealer put in is a group 24 Interstate. Any Idea's of what might be my issue? We are very careful to conserve power. I know there is a cooling fan in the refrigerator and it seems to run allot. Thanks for letting me vent my frustrations.
