-lug nuts loose at delivery
-Spice rack pocket door misaligned
-kitchen faucet leaked around neck
-Stove top not cut in countertop square and was popping up due to misalignment
thats all so far
Question for you,
Did your trailer come with the long skinny table for the slide sofa? Mine did not and I was told by eclipse that it would. I am fighting with eclipse to have it put in. - Y-GuyModerator

Did you guys run water in your trailers on your walkthrough.
Yes, test EVERYTHING. Generator, fuel station, water, micro, fridge. Test the direct water hook up as well as putting water in the tank and run the pump.
If you don't have it download the Tom Boles' Pre-Delivery Checklist and use it as you do your walk through. I actually gave copies to two different dealers when I bought, one was less then thrilled but both accommodated my request. - stellar714ExplorerDid you guys run water in your trailers on your walkthrough.
- stellar714ExplorerWow. I don't know what to say that was a lot of stuff Wrong with your trailer. I guess I need to take a better look at mine

I am doing a second walkthrough on friday any suggestions on what I should be looking for. I caught a couple of things and the trailer was sent back to the factory.
Mine had the following wrong :
- bathroom fan switch didn't work
- converter panel under the fridge buzzed
- fuel staion box (where hose is stored) has hanging loose
- santi-flush hose was stuffed on the tank fitting but hose clamp was loose and hanging at the next low point
- one of the tank bump stops was loose on the frame rail
- water leak around shower faucet
- snap to hold sliding door wasn't attached securely and had worked loose
- leak around window by sink/stove
- tie down bolts (a few) missed the frame and were only into the wood floo
- spare tire lift wasn't the right size for the wrench they included
- screen door plastic slider popped out when it was slid
- hole in the backside of the couch (only visible when folded up)
Some I fixed myself and others I took back to the factory to fix.
Some I found rolling around under the camper on a creeper others were found by
taking it out and using it. - my996duc1Explorer

I've had a pesky shower leak and some other minor issues so I brought mine to the factory service center. Chris over there said the shower has a now known leak issue. Anyone else had the shower leak?...Did you get it fixed?
What is leaking (drain, faucet, shower head, ect...) ?
Where is it leaking (inside, underneath, ect..) ?
I will watch mine for said leak.
Thanks !
I had a massive shower leak. I have the 28DBLG but I believe it has the exact same bathroom. The dealer took care of it but it was really bad. A grey water pipe was free flowing under the shower floor. So any water you would turn on went right under the shower and built up until it flowed out of the frame outside and eventually built up inside the bathroom. - stellar714ExplorerI am doing a second walkthrough on friday any suggestions on what I should be looking for.

Sweet, congrats on the new toyhauler !
The only thing I would do different on my delivery day is do the walk through twice to double check that everything works.
I had a few issues (nothing too major) that I failed to catch and had to take it back to Attde for repair.
Thanks I did a walkthrough last saturday and caught a few things they had to send it back to the factory. - danojenoExplorerMy converter whined a little when first plugged in or after generator first started. Eclipse swapped it for a new one and it still does it...just for a few minutes. They did fix my shower leak! and they only had it for two days.
