Quailridge Park Model folleys
We ordered a new park model last October. Delivery was due 4/15... well we know how that went. Next delivery date, June 3rd, then June 10, then it finally arrived june 17.
Buyers of our existing park model agreed to move their acquisition date to July 1st, and thanks to their work schedule and thankfully so, to July 3rd.
I had planned 6 weeks to get the park model operational and the stick built add on room livable. Then it was 4 weeks. 2 weeks has become a bit overwhelming.
At least the park model has air and water... unheated, but water is there :) Add on room is a bunch of sticks with wrap right now.
Park Owner (dealer) finally got the "rest of the story" today. Forest River in general is suffering from explosive sales, and unable to get people to come to work. Apparently making more money on unemployment is more attractive than the paying job.
Some the crazy stuff...
I was doing low voltage wiring for add on room and asked the owner, can I drill a hole right here? He said, they put the GD wiring all over the effin place... So I went searching and he was right, there was a wire right where I wanted to drill. So, my hole is now on a angle to avoid wiring where I would have never expected to find it.
Campground owner had a punch list of about 3 dozen items, I added another dozen. At least we will be living in there starting 7/2. I'm anticipating September something before the construction is done.
We're going to have a wonderful 12x24 covered deck on the lake. The roof beams for the deck, 2x12 laminated beams. Could park a car on the roof. Apparently they had purchased them for another project and never used them. They were in the way in the maintenance building, and I gave them an excuse to get rid of them.
Golf cart shed wiring kept tripping the GFI breaker at the box. Turns out the underground 10/2 they ran, has an internal short. Luckily it was still above ground. So, the shed is literally running on an 12/2 extension cord right now. Up until tomorrow night, it is only a couple of LED lights and my drill battery charger. I may have an issue with the golf cart charger.
Very comfortable 4 season "home" that will become our retirement home at a campground we love. we figure 4-6 months traveling in the winter months.
Just need to get the addition insulated so AC doesn't run non stop trying to cool that heat sink down. At least the trailer is wonderfully cool

Some the crazy stuff...
- Forgetting to install cold air return
open wiring circuits
Torn Flooring
missing cabinet shelves
mismatch light covers
batons in some places (paid for upgrade) tape in other areas
unconnected exhaust fan
One I really had to laugh at today, door catch pushed all the way in, so the door doesn't latch.
