Ha. That darn compartment. At first I thought I got a bum opening. I fought trying to get them out like a normal tank. Then I realized I to had tilt and essentially pry the top part down, then pull out. The first time I refilled, I was scratching my head. I didn't want to damage the plastic box, so I kept trying to lift them straight out. What a pain.
I like the new faucet, Nolan. I can't see spending too much on mine since it doesn't get a lot of use. But anything is better than the plastic "residential style" Northwood installs.
What have I learned? How much time you got?? LoL I've learned that quality and workmanship is a very subjective thing. Overall, we do like the camper. Structurally (mostly) it's proven to be constructed well for a mid-range, basement camper. Can't say I've had it long enough or used it enough times to have REALLY tested it, but I've taken it through some pretty twisty, turny and tilty terrain. So far, so good. Nothing have fallen off, busted or broke.
The lack of attention to detail behind the scenes is my main complaint.
I would also agree with Nolan about going over every inch and get to know every crease and crevice. You will find things that the factory didn't do right.
