New Travel Trailer Every Day NEW Problems
Hello... So we bought a new travel trailer back in March. We have spent a total of 13 nights in it thus far and have been having nothing but troubles with it. We just got home and this past trip ...

I think there is a big difference between MFG and Dealers.
We continue to have issues with our Kodiak every single time we take it out. I've just got tired of posting about it. I used to post on Dutchmen's forum at least to give them feed back but it is gone now.
My recent issue and shock had to due with removing an access panel inside our coach to gain access to the plumbing behind the city water connection. We have a spray connector here as well, yet it says "not potable water". I thought that was strange and wanted to see how it was plumbed, well removing the screw holding the cover and what did I find? They put a 1.5" long screw right through the flexible line in the wall.
Luckily it was a simple trip to the local hardware store for a new line. But it is these types of small things that can drive a person crazy when they spend $40K+ on a trailer.
Sure anyone can sit on this list and say, yea, yea, it bounces down the road yadda yadda.
BS! Come on, seriously? It is like the lottery every time we open the door after arriving at a campground. We always wonder which panel or trim fell off this time.
If I was to put the list on this forum for the******I have had to fix, including the turn signals being wired backwards, how that wasn't caught, I'm still stumped. Thor would sue me for sure.
Now that being said, I still love the trailer, I just warn people, be prepped to have to "repair" many items. Invest in a small compressor and a brad nailer as well as some tubes structural adhesive, and lots of black caulking.
