the dealer got the slide repair parts in and will do the rebuild this week. I now have 27+K miles on the unit. My mileage is about the same and oil consumption on the 8.1 engine is about one quart per 2K miles (better than my previous 454 in a Winnebago - the 8.1 is an improved version of the 454). Overall, I am pleased with the performance and utility of my unit.
As I have said before, Please get a good dealer to buy from, because the quality control that is missing from the factory can be partially made up by a good dealer (Ron Hoover RV in Texas has been great - I got my unit from Boerne, Tx. but there are several franchise dealers in the state). I believe that by the end of the first year, I will have 30K miles, and the easily correctable items will be fixed. At that point, I may look to some modifications on my own to improve the lower drawers, tighten some of the rattles, and improve the water/sewer system a little. Overall, I just get in every day, drive, and use!
I have changed my dial up information/email, so don't try to email me at the address listed on the profile. I had to make extensive repairs to my computer thanks to an email virus gotten through this forum, so until I figure out a better way to communicate to any of you directly, we will have to use the forum itself.
