Didn't notice any fit and finish issues in the interior yet.
lower outside refrigerator grill doesn't fit real well.
Can't get a satellite signal to pass thru the outside connection to either of interior tv's.
Connection outside is labeled "dish" and is black.
Bedroom tv connection labeled "dish" is black.
Connection outside labeled "cable TV hookup" is orange.

My 14 crossroads had that.
My sabre has that stupid sensor slide on the inside fins.
Crap.

WE DO like the mcd day night roller shades vs the plated day nights that was in the sabre!

The kitchen and living room storage is phenomenal!

Bedroom storage is a little less but not an issue.

So far every electrical item has worked.

One thing I need to change is the amber porch light is on the same switch as the factory installed led awning lights, I'm going to move the awning lights over to the step light.

Fireplace keeps the whole living / kitchen area warm without starting furnace!

Waiting on next Friday!

Nice!
I went up on the Columbus ladder to this weekend and found it to be "sturdier" then the sabre ladder.

I found Nothing!
Ms amy found one piece of trim loose above kitchen cabinets and she was checking EVERYTHING!
Everything so far appears to be perfect.
Not sure if the credit goes to forest river or cheyenne camper sales but I also found no saw dust or manufacturing debris at this point.
Seems this unit is tight and right.

The complimentary bottle of champagne will get opened this weekend! Mimosas!

Did you turn on the a/c? After two years mine still blows that crap out when I first start it up. Was the worst the first few times though.

Yes I did.
Only a few tiny pieces in the bedroom.

That's kinda like the Norcold, When I see my freezer temp and refer temps with my accustat I know when to turn it to a lower # 1 thur 5, I also always travel with it on #1 when we travel less propane use. Then at the CG I will turn it back up to 3 easy to due a lot better then the slide on the fin. I'm sure you have some 12v computer fans on order for circulation inside and the back coils. I still say I would keep that progressive they put in. You got all winter to due your many mods. You know what you need and what you want for a top notch trailer and make it your own. This is not your First Rodeo. It sure is nice through hope you and Amy enjoy it. Hope you can find that extra kit that was mentioned for your JT'S. It would be worth it for the $20.00 bucks.It will not work right with out those brackets and brass inserts. There is an RV used parts just down from the Goshin fairgrounds when I was there they had stacks of rear stabilizers, I think that would be a great mod for you I still use mine after the 4 point levels me. I think it helps with the aft part of the trailer. ....
