• Inverter doesn’t work
• Power Panel doesn’t work
• Control Box doesn’t work
• Dinette shade fell off wall
• Black and Gray tanks leak. (continue to leak, always some liquid when we open to add sewer hose
• Main awning motor
• Sound bar was not functioning (Brian approved the optical cable, really $14 part left off a $80K RV?
• Hand rail fell out of the wall by stairs
• Power panel loose and falling out of the wall from earlier “fix”
• Belly Pan fall off
• Main A/C unit not shutting off
• Bedroom A/C not working at all (wires not attached per tech)
• Outdoor fridge does not work while driving (turns out it’s not supposed to?)
• Door lock spins, does not lock
• Trim above the slide in bedroom falling off
• Bedroom slide rubber stops fall off, not secured
• Hydraulic leak – in two places, probably due to belly pan falling off
• Slide issues, no bell stops at all? Gears, actuator
• Need all slides checked.

we couldn't get the slide closed to get from Colorado back to Illinois for repair.

We did trade in our RV, but didn't get nearly as much as we thought we would. we paid close to $80,000 and 18 months later only got $30,000 as a trade in. As the slide came in and out off track, it tore up the floor, which we didn't realize until the slide started making noise. We saw the slits in the floor, but didn't know where they were coming from.

Claimed loss: Refund ( plus the amounts we had to pay for storage to keep our spot, while the RV was in for repair) We also had to pay for another week in Colorado, while we tried to figure out what do do.

Desired outcome: At least our loss amount
