Well first trip done, so much nicer than sleeping in a tent. Found three things that need fixed though. Some staples came out of one of the walls, the one tail light has some LEDs that are not working, and we had a bunch of condensation on the inside wall of the slide out when we woke up in the morning. Not sure if the top of the slide out is going in as far as it should either seems like the cauking around it is bubbling out. Good thing we got the 5 year warranty.

Condensation - always leave the vent open an inch and a window open an inch.

yep the extended warranty is already paying it's way. These are not "bad" trailers just a lot of little things may pop up that need addressed!!....glad your first trip was a success!!

techntrek, thank you so much for the advice on how to prevent condensation! I get up every morning and wipe all the windows down with much frustration. This info is greatly appreciated. Happier trails for sure!
