We bought a 2014 V-24SD this past October and we love it. We've had it out about 4 weekends so far (waiting for the snow to clear and campgrounds here to open again!).
There are a lot of things to like: much more kitchen counter space than most in this size, solid surface counter tops, etc.
The only major complaint I have had so far is the battery location. It is very hard to access. The dealer put in a cheap car battery, so I've been pulling it out and taking it home to put on a charger in between trips (camper is stored an hour away from home). I'll be replacing the battery this spring with a true deep-cycle, but still expect to have to remove it over the winter every year.
Has anyone found a way to move the battery so it is easier to access? Or have any tricks to more easily removing it?

When you replace the battery do so with an AGM deep cycle battery, they will be more expensive than the wet cell type but you can install them under the trailer and not have to service them. I have two Interstate AGMs on mine and I have checked them once in three years and they looked like they had been just installed (a little dusty though).
