Thoughts on this Carbon 36 toy hauler

Hello, I just recently purchased a 2021 carbon 36. I’ve seen it twice and the quality on it isn’t that good. The floor plan is very nice. Since I have to order from the factory I won’t be able to really test it out the quality of the rv. I was wondering if anyone has owned it or is owning one of these could inform me more about it. I’ve searched online for reviews but I can only find reviews done by dealers which are quite biased. If anyone has one of these that could just let me know some things you’ve discovered. Thanks

It seems like you already have it in your mind that it’s not gonna live up to your expectations...since you ordered it I would wait till it’s delivered and ask the dealer if you could spend the day looking it over before you sign for it...maybe have an rv Surveyer/inspector look it over with you...most all of the manufacturers use the same components and just assemble them ala carte style..
A lot of things in life are the half full ,half empty scenario..you have to make up your mind your going to like it and expect some problems because ALL manufacturers have random problems

We couldn’t really tick all the boxes right. So this rv right here ticked the most. That’s why we are very happy with the purchase of this rv. We previously owned a keystone and it wasn’t that bad. We just looked at the quality and it didn’t really just look like it was good. Thank you for your reply.

Assuming you took delivery - what's your feedback?

Any mod's you recommend?

Thx

All I have to say is that the quality is pretty bad. Went camping already couple times. Some of the trim has detached. Idk if u have those hanging kitchen lights but I would make sure those are tight as one of our lights fell off and made a mess. We don’t mind the trailer but it hasn’t lived up to its price. Haven’t done many “mods” but I’ve kinda just bought accessories and things.

Uhh in the garage at the back there’s to cubby’s in the corner. There’s some trim at the bottom that came lose on one of them.

Just looked at ur 3D model and you don’t have those cabinets so you don’t have to worry. Im pretty sure somethings gonna fall apart or come lose. These things are built poor imo.
