Maiden voyage with new 2015 Cougar 244 half ton series. Really hoping things improve as although I CAN still return it, it will take months to get the same one in stock and no guarantees!
The biggest fail is the awning. It cannot be out and have the door open. It rests on the door. Service tech told me its a major fail and entire awning needs to be installed higher. I was looking for an easy adjustment fix.
The corner of the dinette snapped off in my hand when I went to fold the legs down.
Door lock jammed and even after crawling through the crawl space could not open from inside.
Dealer squeezed me in that day as unit was useless with the door not opening. I asked tech for an awning adjustment then and was told its a major repair and would need to be booked in. New table will be here in three weeks.
Cupboards not lining up anymore but I did expect minor alignments would need to be made after a few trips. Maiden voyage was not off road though! Across the lake to a groomed beach lot. We thought being close to home would be a safe first trip. But locks failed forcing us home a day early.
We have had campers in the past but this is first 5th wheel. I did search various forums and did a little research before choosing the Cougar and felt fairly confident doing so.
Anyone experience similar concerns?
I'm really hoping this is just bad luck and that after my next trip my confidence will be restored
Dealer had to pry it open and replace the plastic lock for the screen door as it was out of adjustment. I think I was the culprit for that problem as I was playing with the adjustment just before I couldn't get in 
. I just leave it alone now. But, I do have a new screen door lock just in case
