Thanks SeaDog. I meant to take a checklist but actually forgot and we packed the printer paper! So I winged it.

After spending the night in it, the only additional thing we found was that the TV antenna crank literally fell apart when I bumped it. Got wood shavings in my chest hair!

This was right before it fell apart. My list item started as “TV antenna crank is very loose”. And then I bumped it!

Sounds very manageable. Is the dealer keeping you happy?

We’ll see if they get us out of there today with most of our PDI list complete and the swaps done. My expectations are not hopeful, so we’ll see.

Thanks! We are currently planning on getting to PA in June and immediately starting to purge our storage. It’ll be busy but “freeing”.

And then we have no idea! We think we are going to meet family and friends in OH for July 4. But, us and plans are laughable.

Ok. Leaving the dealership now after a lengthy conversation with the operations manager in the service side. I expressed frustration that things weren’t done and listened to acceptable explanations and a few “yeah, we screwed up” responses.

First time hitched up and headed to a campground.

First tow will be in the dark and rain- good times!

We’ll come back Tuesday between campground changes.

Parking went surprisingly well. Fortunately it's a really nice wide spot and a wide road in front of it. And no perfect lines to try and straighten up with!

I might have insulted my neighbor as he came to my window to give me suggestions. My wife says I wasn’t entirely gentle when I told him that I have my wife on speaker and take directions from her. He went inside immediately after...

Whoops! I’ll make amends tomorrow with some limoncello.

the new 2016 Prime time 1245 Spartan

First shower had a LOT of water escape under and past the tray holding the shower doors. Looks like there is no caulk under it or at either end.

I ran water to make sure the drain didn’t leak but didn’t think to spray the door to check that.

I finally see what you mean that it’s integral to the distribution panel. That sucks as I’ll need to likely add a separate battery charger. I have lithium batteries and the charge profile is different than the lead batteries.

Looks like I might keep my electrician buddy busy with projects when I see him next month!

Doug check to make sure they installed the lower track for the door the right way, I have read quite a few times they installed them so the drain holes were facing the wrong way

Thanks man. That was the first thing I looked for! [emoji4]

This is looking in, they’re the right way:

This is the end of the track- no caulk at all. When I was inside the shower, I could see light coming thru.

I also have pretty solutions to adding outlets above the stove top, and under the table at the stairs wheen you have him working.
