Wow, sorry to hear about all the issues/problems encountered.  When we special ordered our 177 back in January 2011 we were amazed at the cleanliness of the unit even in the corners and under seats, by the converter, fridge, not a spec of dust or debris.  I feel this was unusual and kudos probably would have to have gone to the RV business it was purchased from in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. 

Good thing you are handy, in fact, FR may have a position for you in not only making these units better but also more user friendly!  Bravo to you!

Thanks Jato, I appreciate that.  We actually got it back from the dealer today!  Whoo hoo, maybe it's actually fixed! 

I guess you really did have a good dealer.  Ours had sawdust everywhere, holes that apparently had been put in wrong places then filled with foam etc.  Not sure since it was one of the last 195, if they cobbled it together or what.

Not sure I want a job at FR but I wouldn't mind consulting on the "live-ablity" factors! Big smile

Just guess, with Warren Buffet as your boss, you could really go places!  Problem is Mr. Buffet most likely wouldn't pay what you're worth.Big smile

The sawdust thing is extremely common on RV builds accross most brands. Don't worry it is only sawdust, it'll be most gone in a decade of use/shaking!

It really isn't the sawdust that's the problem, it's the issue of pride in workmanship and quality.  The presence of work debris is indicative of the company's decision to favor high volume and sloppy production over allowing their employees to clean up the messes and vacuum out the places where debris accumulates during the building process.  It seems to plague much of the RV industry.  I doubt many would accept such sloppy work for a brand new home or a car.
