Fun Finder is letting me down
I have a 2012 Fun Finder. To be fair it has been very trouble free since I bought it in 2011. But I have had two problems surface in two days. They may not be all that serious, but I just don't think we owners should excuse manufactures' carelessness and choice of inferior quality components.
The first problem is a failure of one of the ball valves on the water heater bypass. I went to change their positions when preparing to use the water heater for the first time this season when one of the valve stems broke. It's now permamently in the wrong position to obtain hot water from the tank. Now these valves only change position twice per year. I calculated that they have been "turned" exactly eight times since the trailer was new. I don't care how cheap a component is; it should last longer than eight cycles
The second problem is the failure of one of the LED marker lights. These LED lights are supposed to be rugged and last for thousands and thousands of hours. They probably would, but some careless worker actually installed one of mine upside down; it filled with water and no longer works. When I removed the cover on the bottom it was clearly stamped "TOP" A weep hole that should have been on the bottom was on the top. It admitted water which had no way to exit.
