I`m shocked at how poorly built this trailer is, and what`s worse are the people telling you that you are expecting too much! Granted some of that is cosmetic and easily fixable, but the other stuff is just poor quality. actually the whole trailer looks to be of poor quality (sorry!). I guess you are doing the right thing, fix what you can and then off it. which is too bad because AF used to be a reputable company! so much for that though.
The worst thing I had with my Forest River was the stereo. I went through 3 before I gave up and installed a car stereo in it`s place. it been pretty much problem free since then. one minor leak I fixed years ago.
And because It`s been so Good I`m going to be buying another FR product. A Georgetown class A with the bunk slide.
Speaking of stereos, mine didn't even work before I took it off the lot. That was one thing a technician at the dealership actually DID notice before I took it off the lot (thank god!). It was wired wrong and he had to fix it. I didn't mention it in this thread yet because it was such a minor problem that was instantly dealt with, however it goes to show you that they don't even do a quality control check at the factory on the basic items. All they would have had to do was press the power button to see if it made sound, and they didn't.
By the way, I still have not heard back from NW. I am probably on their **** list now, but that's something I guess I had to sacrifice. So far I don't regret it.. I'm happy that some people are viewing this as a reality check.
I'll be posting my "fix" tomorrow.. I will have the inside of the 110v compartment insulated as well as the door which gives access to it. Insulated door + air space + insulated backing = one badass R-value for that compartment. :D
