Questions about 2016 Tracer Air 255

Hi all,

New to the forum.

Have a couple of questions about a 2016 Tracer Air 255 that I'm looking at.

In general, are there any specific problem areas I should be looking at before committing to purchasing this model?

Are there any "must have" aftermarket upgrades I should be thinking about?

We plan on traveling quite a bit now that my lady and I are retired and we want to be as comfortable as possible in our home away from home.

Thanks in advance to all that respond!

Welcome to FRF, from another 2016 TracerAir 255 owner![emoji2]
Our upgrades are:

For dry camping-
a small inverter for running the tv.
Honda 2000i inverter generator.
LED bulbs for all the lights.
15 gallon tote tank.
6 gallon water jug.

Inside-
Mattress topper.
Wire shelves in pantry and bathroom sink cabinet.
Larger 32" smart tv in living area.
19" smart tv in bedroom.
Plastic storage containers with drawers in bedroom.
Ceramic heater when we have hookups.
Oxygenics Body Spa showerhead.

Outside-
Electric tongue jack.

That's all I can think of right now. PM me if you have any questions. We had a number of warranty issues but they were all fixed by the dealer.
By the way, we are also retired and have been spending time in Arizona and just got back from there.
