Well I guess I should give my update.
Received my unit in Feb of this year and we have somewhere around 20K on it so far.
The only real problem we had was with the optional fridge. I say optional because this is not the same type they install in most of there other trailers. Its quit a bit larger and it's a two door model. We had problems with it while on the road when it was hot out in Montana as it was over heating and throwing fault codes. With the advice of a older RV tech we installed an automatic fan and some aluminum sheeting that's used to deflect heat out of the back of the unit. Since we have done that we no longer have any problems with the fridge.
The two other problems we had with the trailer were the antenna on the booster was improperly connected and the radio was defective. Both items easily fixed. Outside of this, the trailer has been bullet proof. Glad we ordered the two A/C option. The bedroom A/C is much quieter then the main A/C unit. When they both run together they can drop the inside temp of the trailer 30 degrees in about 20 min. even when the temps are close to triple digits outside. Once we cool it with the two we then pretty much use the bedroom air to keep it that way.
The only real negative thing I really found with this VRV is the bedroom mattress is real crap. Since this has to be custom made I'll be searching for a replacement this winter.
After owning a DP motorhome before this trailer with the cost of repairs in the $42K range in the five years of ownership it's been a very big change in the RV experience to say the least. My truck and this trailer are rock solid, I should have done this years ago! You will not go wrong buying a Livin Lite Rv, they truly are one of the best if not the best RV's in their class. Worth every penny I paid for it and now with Thor being the parent company the dealer network should be greatly increased. Oh, I get 7.8 MPG with my Chevy 6.0 towing it.
