You are going to have to reconcile yourself to becoming an expert on your unit. I presume that you plan to put a lot of miles on it once you get started on your tour. I currently have 21,000 miles, and will have aobut 26K by the end of the first year. I am also convinced that everything will be as good as it can be by then. In a way, I am lucky that I am putting so many miles on the unit, so I can get to any defects that would usually show up after three or four years of service. I am actually pretty happy with my coach, even though it is a pain to go through all the adjustments. I have yet to drive any vehicle that is as useful in a variety of situations, yet is as easy to drive in any situation from bumper to bumper traffic, to 70mph in a hard rain. I averaged about 65mph on the last 625 miles of my trip, which would rival any vehicle in the same situation (actually faster, because I didn't have to stop long to use the "facilities". The list of repairs will be long again, but I plan to leave the unit with the dealer for a couple of weeks next week if necessary.
