    Hi All,
    just to follow up on my original rant/post --- we have been able to use the unit a couple of times and each time there are more and more issues === suffice it to say that the list now tops 50 items -- all factory defects
    GD service advisor very patronizing -- "sorry for your issues,but we handling for you - are we not?" grrrrrr not my point my point is there should not be that many issues with a brand new unit --- if I purchased a used unit, I could accept the issues.... but having spent mucho denaros on this unit --- I am not a very happy camper
    Meeting with my Dealer GM and hopefully owner to discuss what recourse we/they have with GD with the number of issues and the amount of time and $ the dealer is billing GD for the repairs. I am sure it is now into the 10,000 + mark .....
    I do like the layout and the functionality of the unit, just not the quality control aspect.

    In my opinion you should demand a new rv and cash.

    Almost every item you have mentioned should have been detected by the dealer PDI. Once you have the issue(s) resolved, I would consider a new dealer. Our dealer fixed every issue prior to delivery or requesting any paperwork be signed. They layed nothing off on GD or "it was delivered this way and bring it back under warranty". They stepped up before the sale. YMMV. Coachlight RV in Carthage Missouri gets my thumbs up.

    to Date this is the list of things - some are minor to be expected issues, others are major factory faux pas that should have been caught prior to shipment - I have no issue the the warranty, just an issue with number of items and the delay in getting parts ..
