Pennsylvania RV Show Hershey, Pa. Sept 11-15th

Ok, thanks for the detailed explanation. A little surprising, especially considering it's one of the most expensive ones out there.

I did not go thru it with a fine tooth comb, but a few things I quickly noticed were:
The shelving boards inside the pantry cabinet are too thin. I could lightly press down on them and they would bow down. A few cans of food on those and they will all be sagging. The shelving is also cheaply attached to the inside.
The rounded sliding bathroom door was already starting to come apart.The track hardware was loose and the door was starting to bind. The piano hinges on the door were covered over with wood grain tape which was starting to peel off already. Looks like it could be a continual maintenance issue.
Plastic corner molding below the toilet was not fastened properly and starting to pull loose. I could see where it was just lightly nailed and the nails were letting go.
The wood tone on some of the cabinet doors did not match the color of the cabinet framing. Some of the door fronts were a very nice match, while others were off tone and very noticeable. Ive seen this problem before in other Hosts. It used to be with the lighter woods. This Mammoth had the darker cherry cabinets and it was still a problem.
I wasnt keen on was the lack of cabover storage. This unit had the optional king bed, but that only gives you two cabinets in the cabover, one on each side of the bed. With the queen bed you do get two coffin cabinets which would be a little better.
The things I did like were:
Very roomy and spacious
Outside rear storage bay is huge, with slide out tray.
Very large main area TV for nice viewing from the sofa area
Very roomy bathroom. Both shower and toilet areas were large and easy to get to.
Fold out entry steps are low to the ground and easy to enter and exit.

This TC has potential. All of the negative issues that I noticed could be easily done right. Hopefully Host will get some feedback from owners and be able to correct these areas.
