Just wanted to say thanks to everyone in this thread. You guys provided a lot of reassurance (and great advice on what to look for/inspect) as my wife and 4yo get ready to fly down to CA in PHX to check out and pickup a 23A to drive back to Spokane, WA (a nice long trip to really test everything, hah).
We've rented one of that model before from the spokane rental location back in 2021 and my wife loved it (especially the layout). I was less impressed with the rental as several screws that held up curtains and other things were all stripped out or just not installed at all (dangling or found on the floor) and I ended up doing those minor repairs before the wife loaded up the rig for camping (I blame the local shop more than the larger organization in this case). A lot of the trim and other items showed signs of pretty major wear as well. However, all the mechanical stuff worked solidly for the week we used it (driving it across the state and back).
It sounds like all of that won't be an issue and would be fixed/taken care of during the refurbishment process and hearing all of you happy campers who have gotten CA units really eases my mind since I'm flying down there and won't get to see the unit before I'm there to pick it up (I did plan on grabbing the extra warranties just to make sure...another peace of mind purchase that it sounds like I won't have to use too much, if at all). The salesman has been very pleasant to work with so far...very accommodating and responsive.
I'll post up our experience once we take posession of it in a couple of weeks and hopefully add to the positive experiences (or give details of anything negative if it comes up).
