Thanks All,
Good advice - will have brakes checked/adjusted as needed - I understand this will be at my expense.
Good point regarding learning about my TT and doing my own maintenance whenever possible.
However here is the detail regarding what the dealer NEVER prepped:
- The multi media center DVD did not work from day 1 - dealer replaced the whole multi media center "box". So it was never tested by the dealer - we had simply turned on the radio and tv during our check at pick up day.
- Initially the hot water only worked for 5 seconds, then was cold (makes for interesting, quick showers). Of three water valves governing hot water, TWO were shut off. Turning them on (located under plywood kick out panel), resolved the hot water issue. A big thank you to my step-son for resolving that one.
- We have taken a total of 4 trips in our TT thus far, on trip #3 our two full propane tanks became empty on the third day. Yes I smelled propane, thought it was tank #1, so shut off the tank main valve and turned on and switched to tank #2. I still smelled propane and started looking at regulator and hose connections, but did not find the leak. I brought the TT to the dealer - the leak was in the main hose UNDER the TT - the brass screw on coupling was hand tight, and so loose, it was ready to come completely undone.
- Trip #4, we are currently camping with are TT up in Maine, we had just set up and used the sink to wash some dishes. We were sitting outside enjoying the sights when I noticed significant water dripping from the bottom of the trailer. Turns out the pipe elbow under the kitchen sink was completely separated from the sink pipe, so water went on the floor and down into the sub floor, and dripped out the bottom of the TT. I found the elbow coupling compression fitting used to secure the elbow to to sink drain pipe was very loose - dare I say it - it was never looked at during prep - there is no way this fitting could have loosened up that much during travel.
So I removed all under the counter plywood covering, soaked up all the water I could, and I am leaving the plywood covers under the counter removed, and have been running the heater furnace to help dry out what water I cannot reach.
F.Y.I. MY WIFE AND I LOVE OUR TT, THERE HAVE NO QUALITY COMPONENT OR FACTORY INSTALL ISSUES, THE ONLY DOWNSIDES HAVE BEEN DUE TO DEALER "NO PREP". :). :R
