The fact that you are so involved with the pre and post consumers as well as the level of detail of the manufacturing process is impressive and very helpful.

We all Thank You.

Cheers to Brian!

I'd agree with a few of the items:

I don't think the insulation in our coach is sufficient. There are a number of people who have complained that they can't keep their unit cool in the South summers or warm in the North winters. My heat pumps seem to run A LOT even during our mild springs.

We've had sliding door issues too and would like to see that 3 point latch system implemented.

The bungy cord the fridge doors is pretty cheezy.

The other items listed, I don't have a problem with. Bought a camco surge protector before picking up and use it every time so I can't speak to the onboard unit. But the tech told me that it is $750+ labor to replace it if it blows vs. the camco plug protector.

Nice work BC...All the more reason we are getting ready to order our Dynamax very soon. And thanks for going to the spring loaded latches. Good choice!

1. Most of the time when I see cooling issues, it is because supply air is getting pulled into the return where the sensor is. The aluminum foil tape comes loose, or the divider baffle comes loose. Dual airs should be plenty....but there are many things someone can do to help.

2.3 point doors are just about 100% now on the line.

3. Bungy cord is cheesy...unfortunately, we can't screw anything into the door as the fridge maker voids the warranty. We had a dealer complain one time as well and said they would install it themselves (a really nice stainless steel latch we want to use). They called us a day later asking for a "deal" on a fridge. They punctured a coolant line. The only fridge OEM that sends a letter authorizing this is Samsung, and that does not fit our opening. We have a threaded rod and we are experimenting with some VHB tape installations.

The threaded rod retainer on the Isata 5 fridge works great! Only thing you see on the fridge is a small threaded nut on the door frame. I don’t know how the nut is secured to the frame, but don’t know why that solution would not work on all fridges.

My fix for the MCD shades banging, was to take the small round felt pads you put on the bottom of your kitchen chairs, and stick them on the inside of the metal grab handle of the shade, to keep it from hitting the window frame. Sometimes the cheap fixes are the best ideas.

Still don’t know why you can’t use this one for the refrigerator. It uses the existing bolts on the doors, so no drilling. Last time I mentioned it you said there was a spacing issue. The upper doors can be adjusted up a bit to provide plenty of clearance. It has worked flawlessly for us on our XL for over a year now. Even has a magnet built in to store the removable part on the fridge door. Simple and genius.

By the way, the one I linked to on Amazon is for a Samsung, but Recubed Solutions has them to fit Frigidaire units as well. https://www.recubed.solutions/

We have tested it and found that the depths seem to vary from unit to unit. Also, the gap on the fridge tends to vary. We were trying to get to a "fixed" size for each fridge. When that did not work, we had to go back to variable. And even then, in some situations the mount would tip a bit and when the gap varied, it would cause some issues.

Personally, if it were my rig, this would be a no-brainer. I understand how it works and what it does. When you have to push them into the wild...with people unfamiliar, or gobs of people walking in at shows, things get more complicated.

I get it. I just found with ours it was adjust to fit once and forget it. It doesn’t move after that. You would think since it is 3D printed they could easily make the adjustments you would need. Apparently not. Too bad. Keep pushing them!
