Slide issues

Local CW has a Jan 14 (early) build 36.1; it was just as nice in person as on the web. The floorplan looks about perfect. Saying that, and since the cabinet issue was brought up, I will say the cabinets are garbage IMO. Inside nearly every cabinet in the galley/lounge area had a decent film of sawdust where the latch screws worked loose and started stripping out the holes. One door was hanging noticeable crooked; looked inside and only 1 of the screws was holding the latch in place, and that one was barely in by a couple of threads. A $12,000 Starcraft has a better level of quality.
On the flip side, the asking price is equivalent to what a Columbus would be for the towable market; not the highest or lowest, nor the best or worst quality. Being an early production, it still had the double track slide system, and won't be upgraded until the company sees a warranty issue.
Other than the stated issues, everything else about the coach seemed to be pretty nice, especially at that price point. You do get a lot for your money.
The main issue I have is that mortgage sized payment for 20 years, not knowing if we'll be working long enough to pay it off.
