Welcome to the forum..
This is 100% expected too...
I had a 1995 Travel trailer that I bought in 2009... I was fixing assembly issues until the week before I sold it.
I suggest getting use to a screw driver and a dedicated set of sockets... Otherwise you are going to go CrAzY driving back and forth to the dealer for little things like this....
Oh, I suggest getting about 2 packs of extra interior light bulbs, open the fuse box and see what kind of fuses you have.. throw a pack of those in the drawer too. Heck.. I carried an extra manual tongue jack, bottle jack, and jack stand in my TT.... Makes changing a TT tire on the side of the road easier....
RV = Rolling Earthquake built out of sticks, staples, screws, steel, tin/fiberglass... Built FAST and with a mind on not stopping the assembly line.
I'm really sorry you had issues right out of the gate... it's going to happen. Screws are going to back out, moldings are going to pop off. Slides are going to come out of adjustment... Tires are going to wear out faster than your Trucks...
But... IMHO... Its ALL worth it..
Thanks and good luck!
