]Myself and a mech engineer spent 2 hours going over a red 16 foot unit today we found NONE of the deal breaker issues reported here. However there were several qc items that will need fixing. The worst was a kinked LP line at the regulator , saw this on several units on the lot.
On Monday when I'm at a real keyboard I will provide more inforation.
Welcome .. Awaiting my Red 16, did find some of the things, the dealer was aware and all will be corrected before I pick it up.. Will be interesting to hear your comments..
I would be curious to hear answers to the following:
1) How's your wheel clearance? An inch? Two inches? Are the tires rubbing the wheel well yet? They will.
2) How's that AC working? Did you try it?
3) Did you spray water on the roof seams and see if they leak? They do and will.
I could go on an on. Don't get me wrong, I know you're excited, but posts about units with "zero issues" grate on those of us who've been fighting the good fight with Shasta for months.
I will post on items I find out of spec, and Mods I perform.
I have always and still own Airstreams and with their $60,000.00+ price tag
some of the things I have seen on them shock me also.
however I still have faith in this product.. my SN is 1550 I think. we will be picking it up Friday.
first things I will do is using the thin plywood bench seat bottoms as a template. I will replace them with thicker material . also double up the wood on the table
ledge where it is used for the lower "bed" position.

Good luck with your purchase and I hope you're happy , we bought our 16 ft. Airflyte in Sept. 2015 (#981) and we are very happy with it for the most part , would buy another if we could find a green 19ft .
