I've said it before: "some assembly required"
Like it or not, this whole RV experience is something of a hands-on experience. A rv person will be a lot happier if they are handy with tools and enjoy spending some time fixing and modifying. If you're not handy, then you're at the mercy of the repair side of the industry, which can be sorely lacking.
I always chuckle when I hear folks on the forum recco to owners of new units to "create a punchlist of warranty repairs to be done".
You can probably fix this stuff yourself in your driveway in less time than it takes to write the list and hook up and drive it to the dealer to drop it off.
