New Forest River 2019 Forester Control Panel Issues

Hi!
We have just purchased a new Class Motorhome. As with many RVs nowadays there always seems to be something that needs to be"fixed"!
Apparently quality control isnt there anymore.
Anyway our entire coach is controlled by computer. There is a control panel in the living room that controls the entire coach. So if something goes wrong, we are in trouble!

Right now when we use the touch pad, at times you have to hit it a few time for it to function. For instance, you tap on slide, then tap on bedroom slide, then tap on the + sign to open the slide out. At times while holding it,it just stops and then you must put more pressure on it again for it to open completely. It ends up working but it worries me a lot. Same with the awning. Also there is a small control pad on the outside arm of the awning. Well that doesn't work at all. We are having an RV Repair person come to our site to look at it.Are these problems that are easily resolved by an expert. We have had older RV's in the past, nothing hi-tech and everything worked perfectly. Thanks....
  • Also if you can get the app which is free and use that. You should also have a panel in your bedroom.
  • We have a Forest River with the One Control panel, too. I'm not a fan.

    Our panel does the same thing as yours. Just raise your finger and press again. That usually does the trick.
