There was a point in time I wanted to set fire to the thing! But I am also pretty mechanical and skilled in carpentry and found it much easier to fix these things myself than jack around with the dealer, warranty, or the factory. Fortunate, not eveything happened at once

The real problems were the entry door replacement, bathroom pivot door replacement, bedroom door replacement, and the blown brakes that destroyed the wheel hub. The springs in the brakes broke, and all that wire scraping everything, absolutely destroyed the wheel hub.

I've always advised anyone who has their heart set on full timing to purchase their camper a year ahead and use it extensively with the availability to return home to regroup and perform repairs. Because, it will take a year to flush out repairs, fix failures, and made changes that will improve the natural flow of the camper.

I have a list, probably as long as the "fixed" list that lists all the changes I made just to make the natural flow and rhythm of the camper more sensible, like moving light switches, adding hooks, and ways to improve existing storage spaces. Nothing happened just over-night. Some changes took a few months to figure out. That's why you really should use your camper a year before full timing. It's easier to do so at home than on the road.
