My new TT, where are the trouble spots?

[1911_F-350]

I had a used TT for a year and had no issues. I bought a new TT and discovered during the first rain that a window wasn't completely sealed. It just so happened that right under the gutter of my slide out there was a hole/separation in the caulk/window so all that water was being directed into my home.

So once it stopped raining I got the silicon out and made the repar. I also checked all the other Windows and found areas that needed touching up, as in a lot of touching up.

With that said, is there other things/places I need to check or keep an eye on? I read the thread about upgrading the electrical outlets when using things like heaters and like that idea.

Thank you.

Welcome to the forums! And congrats on your new camper!

There may, or there may not be any more minor issues with your new camper, only time will tell. I strongly advise, before making changes (on anything), like removing something to replace with another, you really should use your camper a few times to see what actually works well for you and what does not. I mean... what is comfortable for you ... and what is not. Those items that will require a fix, will probably show up in time. They always do. You can expect loose screws on cabinet door, a drawer to fall out, or a light to go out. But you'll never find them until they happen. Until then, use your camper, have fun, and when things happen, fix them immediately (just as you did with your window), and you'll have some happy camping ahead of you.

When we purchased our Outback, we didn't realize the shower drain was installed wrong, until we actually used the shower. Turned out, the drain pipe was too long, causing the basin to flex up around the drain. So the drain was actually higher than the rest of the basin. But we never noticed this until we used the shower a couple times. Warranty fixed the drain. BUT ... when we took it back for that warranty work, they messed up again. This time they forgot to seal the pipe to the drain. We were in Florida over Christmas that first year, and water was running under the camper. Too far from Indiana. We just let it drip, but they did fix it right the second time, and never had another issue with the camper since. We've had it 3 years now.

So, you really do need to use the camper for a while for items to unearth themselves and remain flexible and in good spirits (IF) something does need attention.

You also need to be careful about changing and swapping things out in your camper. Your new caper is under warranty, and if you tinker with it, the warranty can be voided. So choose your changes wisely. Adding shelves, hooks, racks, installing a 2nd television, things like that won't affect the warranty. But, replacing items for something else, will most likely void the warranty.

My advise .... Go camping! Have fun!
