We are back from New Holland,Pa. We stayed at Spring Gulch Campsite, a very large area with full hookups in the woods at the top of a mountain. It was beautiful, and the RV performed very well, and was fun to live in.
I never got the truck into the auto shop, it was too tall! Glad I got there at 6, with an empty lot, so I did the wheel liners there.
Major problem with the unit was a leak due to an incorrectly fastened fitting on the fresh tank, resulting in a portion of wet rug and ruined dinette paneling. It's a slow drip, but no one knew about it because the plastic was over the rug on delivery. I have slowed it with gas tank sealer, but it needs to be fixed properly. Another problem was after an unexpected 'big' bump, the tv 'jumped' the 1" cleat behind it, and was leaning against the fiberglass front. Luckily I had my driver drill with me and removed the face retention molding and put it back in place, rerouting some rattling wires in the process. Shouldn't a tv be held down with a strap of some kind?
Despite that and some other details, like a screwy radio, all the important components worked great, and the truck is fun to drive. Initial gas mileage was 11, which I don't think is too bad considering it's a new engine and we used the generator a little.
