There were a couple of threads about tie downs that pulled out too on these models
Search key should find those

Flexible rubber hoses, about 2-3 feet in length, from the pump inlet and outlet connections and then connected to your present hard tubing will cut down on noise considerably. Basicly you will have pump, rubber hosing, and then your present PEX tubing in that order. Since its flexible I just made a coil (loop) in the flexible hoses. Alot of the pump noise that you hear is from vibration being carried thru the hard piping. The flexible hoses calm that vibration down a lot.

Many Thanks ... I will give that a try

Isn't that water pump noisy? Usually when you have that hard plastic tubing tied directly into the pump they are very annoying when they run.

I mounted it on rubber shock absorbers and it is a variable speed type pump, on slow speed it is liveable but on high speed it is too noisy as you mention...

It needs a modification of some kind, we like to be quite stealthy at times and have to use a one gallon jug for water pouring.

Yes most of them are a heck of a mess, but not all:)

All the wiring in our TC is like this shot. Amazing.

They even have labels on the wires.

As in the picture the plumbing and propane are all laid out just as good as the wiring..

The green wire in a 12v power wire, I think it's for the marker lights.
I'd put some "liquid electrical tape" on it.

What a mess, there is no excuse for wiring like this, if this is indicative of the rest of the construction, thumbs down on this brand.

It's no different than most any RV, unless you buy something costing several hundred thousand dollars, where the wiring is done by someone with knowledge of electrical, rather than a person on an assembly line that does a little bit of everything in construction of an RV.

I was told exactly the same about mine at the dealer. He said "Yeah, these windows leak sometimes." He said, if it does, "Just seal it up or replace it with a solid pane." Seemed odd. Great. Yet ANOTHER fit-and-finish issue that I have to make right. However, it never has leaked heavily.

My dealer told me the same about my AF811.

Other customers had reported the same problem to them, so they called the factory.

Here's what Northwood told them: A slight vacuum is created going down the road at highway speeds. When it rains, water running down the wall of the camper behind the truck cab goes in the drain holes for the window channel of the small window behind the truck cab, or possibly around the glass of the slider portion of the window.

One solution is to leave the bathroom roof vent open slightly, which I apparently did on previous trips, because I had taken numerous previous trips in the rain and never experienced a wet step.

On the trip where the step got wet, I drove probably 7+ hours in the rain along I-5 going south from Chehalis, WA and most of the way through Oregon. I battled the problem all day. I used foil tape around where the glass meets the frame... that didn't solve it, even though that was the most likely place water was entering (through the sliding portion).

Next time I stopped, the step was still getting wet, so I taped around the perimeter of the frame, that didn't solve it. Finally, I covered the drain holes - that solved it.

I used the camper like that for at least another year like that before I finally replaced the window with a solid pane window.
