Kind of at a loss to figure out how you could have mis-matched window coverings in a 2016 new RV? Take some good photos and email them to the dealer..... maybe to WBGO home office.
Maybe a 24G? Yes... you need to clear away all the gear and **** stuffed along side the bed slide out. It's a great storage place... but you need to make sure that there is a couple inches of clearance between the bottom of the trim and what ever.... Things catch on the wood trim and it will rip it off into kindling. Yes. Ask how I know. (the wife, operating the slide out first time. Me outside watching stuff. "IS EVERYTHING CLEAR INSIDE?? OH. yes!" Gear drive sounds and a sudden "CRACK!!!!" Well things were not clear inside and the lower part of the trim caught on some stuff and fractured it.
Some Gorilla glue clamps and blue tape and got it back together. ALWAYS CHECK THAT THINGS ARE CLEAR!!!
Bed pedestal torn apart? That deserves a closer look. There's a hatch in the bed deck. BUt, it is designed to hinge at the front of the bed so it will slide under the slide out. Something inside the under bed compartment jammed it?
Sprinters I've seen with the OM-642 V6 have the air cleaner over the valley of the engine and the turbo and turbo piping is visible behind the engine block and in front of the firewall. It is not covered. Probably for obvious reasons.... not necessary and it needs air to take the heat away. There's a heat/sound shield below the air cleaner covering the valley... at least on '10s and my '13/14. Maybe they've done away with that.
