Yeah I just ordered a full load of insect screens to cover every openingon the outside. The yellow jackets here are relentless.

On my last RV, I noted the hornets flying into the heater vents. Figured time to start up the furnace. I jumped outside to watch. It was like the furnace was shooting BBs out the vent. Kind of funny. It worked fine after that.

Wouldn't want to set a big paper nest on fire they built up against the exhaust pipe while it's all tucked away nice and deep.

I finally got around to pulling the heater out to see if I could find out what was causing all the vibration and noise. I'll just blame this one on good ol' american pride in workmanship and assembly from the factory.

While they were drilling access holes for wires in the cabinets above, the hole plugs were dropping down onto the top of the heater and one found its way into the squirrel cage. From the amount of drill plugs and other knock outs that were laying all over the floor around the heater I'm surprised only one made it in there. With this level of pride I'm not sure why there weren't any pop cans, cigarette butts, and fast food wrappers in there also.

Yeah...pride in workmanship will go a long way with quality. Is it the workers or is it management pushing unreachable deadlines? I'm starting a laundry list of repairs for my dealer after just the 2nd trip with our new Laredo. Problem is finding down time to have the rig unavailable.

Keep looking. You just haven't found them yet.
