Wife and I just purchased a 2014 33SW. Plan is to drive out to Maine at the end of the month. This past weekend was a shakedown test, 3 nights at a local State Park. We've used it 1 night here and there since we purchased it a couple months ago. This trip was also trial run using my Ram 1500 as a Toad. Pulling went fine. We sprung a couple leaks while camping... fresh water leak, drain line for the hot water started leaking at the 90deg fitting under the floor.. had to cut an access hole from the bottom to put a Sharkbite fitting on it. Looked like a bad install of the crimp fitting in that it was not fully on the PEX tubing. We also had a drip from the bathroom sink... once I uncovered the fitting in that pipe (looked like very little glue used on the joint) I put more ABS glue on it and no more leaks. I was a bit surprised that these leaks showed up now after this many years, previous owners put 30k on it. I added a selection of Sharkbite fittings and ABS cleaner and glue to my tool kit.
