I've had it 2 weeks today. The fridge didn't work on propane, which cost me a 500 mile, 2 day round trip to the dealer, much of which was in an ice storm. Should have found the faulty thermoco...

I suspect not, at least for propane function.

The attention to detail in the interior is the glaring exception.
The 1010 was 14" longer. I thought the storage issues might be a problem.
They were not. I carried way too much******in the camper that I hadn't used in 2 years.
What I miss, surprisingly, is the lost 3 or 4 square feet of floor space.
Dog dishes, boots, sandals, garbage can,, running shoes...before you know it you can't walk from door to bed!
