UPDATE:
I am beginning to see some binding in the slide. Fortunately, I don't have to worry about an electric motor freezing up, since it uses a manual crank. Don't really know if there is an adjustment I can make to get everything to go smoothly. Also am struggling with an annoying problem of water being syphoned out of the water tank. I do a lot of driving in city streets and the water probably sloshes around a lot as a result. I had thought that it was being pulled out of the vent tube, but I now think that it just gets pushed out of the fill tube. I may have to install a one way valve of some sort to correct this (easier to do this myself than to leave two or three days at dealer). Driving on rough roads is taking a toll on the drawers (I can't keep any weight in them, because they get bounced off the rails, and the microwave is apparently supported by the shroud around it - it needs more support on the bottom. The bouncing is tearing the shroud at the corners. Those things will get done by the dealer. I already have 6,000 miles that I have driven on it in about 10 weeks! Got to start sharing the driving with my other car, but I just love having my "office" with me! The 211S model really has 2 single beds rather than doubles (40"wide and a single mattress is 39"). Stay thin if you are more than 2 people!
