I got it! I finally got it! :)
I just got home with my 2017 Rockwood A213HW and she is a beauty. Why do I feel like passing out cigars?
There was a tense moment when after the walk through, the service tech couldn't get the roof lowered with the actuator. You could hear the motor, but it would not go down. Than he realized that he put it back together improperly after taking it apart to see if the actuator could be disengaged (it can't). Anyway, after he figured out the problem, away we went. It tows beautifully. Now it sits in my driveway waiting to be towed to a campground.
Before I go anywhere though, I'm going to fill it with water and test EVERYTHING.
I CANT WAIT. I think the DW and I will go to a local campground this weekend to check her out.
Now I really feel like part of this group. Happy camping

Be sure you take a paper and pen so you can write down all the things you realize you might need. Enjoy it is very nice.

61cubby,
Yes. I have a 2016 6cyl Terrain. Glad to hear yours does well because that was one of my concerns.

I got it! I finally got it!
Brimare57, congrats on the new rig. I have the exact same model and we really like it, so I can feel your enthusiasm! Try camping in it in your driveway and check out all the systems. Better to find a problem at home rather than when you're miles away!

I'd set it up in the driveway, and then start "raining" on it with a gardenhose. Just to make sure it doesn't leak anywhere!

Congrats, hoping you don't find anything wrong and only have to do mods to make it better...
