There is no guarantee of a trouble free unit. They are all a **** shoot. Good luck.
cool breeze said it best. "they are all a **** shoot"!!
In 2010 when I wanted to go to a smaller TC for off road we also bought TT for DW when she wanted to go. The TT was a new '10 entry level 18' Springdale. Great trailer!! Only one trip back to the shop to trade it in 5 years later for a bigger and nicer(?) TT.
We bought a new '15 Nash 23D with slide. It does have a nicer interior/exterior but that's where it stopped. It was back to the shop no less than 8 times the first summer from fixing a chattering slide that I swear was going to rip the trailer apart when operating it to a leaking slide and a myriad of electrical problems including the brakes.
I won't go thru the long list of electrical problems except of the one they still can't fix!! The tv goes to scramble when outside the city AFTER you turn on an interior light. Works fine in the city and in their shop so they can't duplicate it. So, out camping you watch tv in the dark or not at all. I fixed it myself with a DISH Tailgater!!
So even the mighty NASH can have problems!!
LED lights will cause RF interfearance in a tv/radio signal. Works fine in the city because tv signal is strong. As the tv signal gets weaker farther from the transmiter the RF signals from the light/s dominates and takes over. Thats my theory. Find the bad light.
WOW!! I did not know that. Apparently no one at the Dealership does either as the Nash came from the factory with LEDs throughout. Ever single light in the whole TT disrupts the tv. Then again, I shouldn't be the first or only one with this problem. I think I'll see if I can change one back to regular and test your theory. Thanks!!!
The exhaust vent fan in the bathroom in my Outback causes television interference also. No LED lights in mine, but turn on that fan and the television (both of them) get scrambled and pixeled images. We don't run that fan very often as you can expect!
