    No, we haven't made it to that part of the county, yet.

    At first I thought that some of the switches were mounted or wired incorrectly, but upon further review...

    They are just like 3way switches in your house, they just toggle lights on or off. Most of the lighting can be controlled via the compass app as well as the panel, so the physical switch position on the panel is irrelevant.

    I have a 21 260RD as well. Mostly it’s great, but i totally relate. Ive had to go and fix a bunch of little things like misaligned drawer latches, carpet staples, loose cabinet hinges, a loose water connection under the sink,

    To remove the furrion stove spill plate you take off the grates, then pull up on the rear corners, it will pop free and then just lift up. Comes off easy once you see how it latches.

    My peeves: yeah the blue main light switch illuminates the cabin by itself! Why in the heck did they not vent the fantastic microwave hood outside?!? The rear stabilizers are too long without enough ground clearance.

    One thing my wife found was that in the narrow pantry next to the fridge, you can remove the top shelf and its a coat closet. It has a hanger rack already...cool

    Just last week I bought the economy pack of #6 x 3/4 tapered screws because the ones used to hold the drawer clamps are too short and mostly over tightened when installed and just fall out with a stripped hole. A couple times I went and got the small utility packs at Lowes but I'm never able to find them when needed.

    I fortunately don't have that light. I do have the vent for the stove hood. Most all TTs and 5Ws with the scissor jacks are as you describe. A few 2x8 blocks under the feet helps keep things taught.

    That is something I need to look into. I was afraid of the canned goods going through the thin luan shelves so I put some precut shelf boards in to better support the weight.

    I have a 2020 260RD and my wife and I have only one recent issue with it. There is a heat vent at the foot of the bed in the upper bedroom. The furnace is actually very close to this vent and the heat is like a blow torch in the bedroom. I will be blocking that vent since heat rises and we will get enough warmth from the main level. The duct in that room is so close to the furnace it actually lights up at night. Other than that, love the floor plan and arrangements it provides us. We tented when the kids were young and later went to a pop-up, then a 24' tag along, then 29', then a small fifth wheel which we lost in Nevada due to axle issue that dexter could not resolve for several weeks, so came home with another 28' tag along. But after seven years, we had to go back to a fifth wheel that addressed all our needs and the 260RD met all. (except for the hot bedroom on a recent trip to Pa in cool weather)

    We’ve had our 260 for a year and are enjoying it. Did experience a refrigerator vent fan failure necessitating warranty work. We installed an additional fan to help prevent the problem reoccurring. It’s working well.

    Great 1st post jm. I'll try out that stove trick today.
    Welcome to the club.

    So I tried to remove the spill plate but was afraid to break something as the solution was not obvious to me. A pic would be nice...

    We have the 260RD as well.

    Can you post pictures of the paper towel holder for the wine rack? Does it look okay? The wine rack appears to be useless unless you are staying someplace for a while. Plus, we are not wine drinkers.

    We do have some issues with the TV Remote but not sure of the fix.

    The fan over the stove is not vented to the outside, so will need to run the overhead exhaust vent fans anyway. In rainy weather that won't work with the rear overhead vent because of the rain sensor, but can run the one in the bathroom once we put a hood over that one.

    I like the key rack and door.

    In the bathroom I added some heavy duty command strips and in the shower I installed a metal shower rod to hang wet stuff on/ Works good.

    Speakers are okay.

    I will have to look at the burners. So far hasn't been hard to clean.
