Great List! Wish I had seen this before I picked up mine on June 27th LOL I took it straight from the dealership to the lake.

My mirror fell off, they didn't install the toilet tissue holder, the parts are there, not sure if the screws included are too long??

I am very leery of the shower, part of the seal around the enclosure pulled lose before I took it. I had them repair. When I arrived home it was worse than before. I also noticed that there is separation around the bottom and the walls of the shower. This is my first camper Embarrassed should it be like this?

Congratulations!

The vent cover is a good move, IMHO. I rarely close my vent.

Took delivery this morning. The 180 was dealer prepped and ready by Outpost RV. . Bought needed supplies. Took 1.5 hours. I had Outpost install a roof cover for the fantastic fan. That way I could keep it open for ventilation while away from the campsite and not worry about rain.

A good RV dealer. Now to check the undercarriage for loose nuts.

-Refrigerator replaced due to manufacturing defect at Dometic.
-AC issues, whereas it's not running and/or cycling properly.
-Chaulk peeling from tub.
-Kitchen faucet dripping/leaking.
-Bathroom mirror fell off the wall.
-Spare tire bracket assembly not properly seated into the hitch, causing it to be unsecured the day we brought the camper home.

I think that's it for now.  Owned it for a couple months so far.

Ours is a 2016 RP179. Our dealer is also about 2 hours away. We had to have ours back also. It is good to check things out, but if you do have to take it in, remember to call before going out to pick it up. We did make the trip once, and it was not right. We had to make a separate trip later when it was really done.

Trust me.  I know that feeling.  My dealer is 1.5 hours away.  Had it back once already and probably need to take it back again for work.
