Beat this!

[boyscout]

New to the GD brand after owning a Outdoors Rv travel trailer. We bought our 2021 Imagine 2800bh in Feb, 2021 and I’m a bit shocked by all the issues we found during our inspection prior to towing her home. However, the biggest surprise awaited me when I got a receiver installed on the rear. I noticed the arctic blanket bulging downwards in the rear and decided to investigate....
What fell out (almost on my face) shocked me!
So...beat this! Post a photo and your experience with your rig regarding issues and or unexpected surprises post purchase.

We've had a great many (over 50) issues too but yours is the most interesting I've seen.

You say "I got a receiver installed on the rear". Wouldn't it be more likely that the installer left the scissors jack in there? I've never visited the factory but I'd *guess* that they wouldn't be using jacks like that on the factory floor.

Either way, I think you've won before the competition you propose even starts.

Looks like a corner stabilizer not a jack
I am sure as the frame was moving along with the coroplast in place it fell into the frame and being black on black wasn’t noticed
Installer likely just grabbed another stabilizer to put on that corner

Maybe it was a hidden spare tire jack.....factory experiment.........

I’m going to stay with my 2016 for a long time

Sometimes it has to do with the orientation of how you took the picture. If the phone was upside down then the picture will be.

When this happen more often than not a small edit will keep it upright.

Thank you, i tried but still "fail". Either way, thanks for posting it with the proper orientation

Welcome to the forum and the club. I empathize with your dilemma, what you are experiencing I went through two tears ago (and still finding issues). Expect to be bombarded with..."yea but...all manufacturers have problems", "You need to be prepared to do the work yourself", "I have a perfect camper and no problems to share", "GD customer service is the best" among others. None of these will help you as you are left getting things straightened out and coping with the dealers scheduling, hold times, transport and delays.

I sure hope it smooths out for us because we have started this relationship with GD on a rough note. On a side note, the coil rinse hose that was missing at the time of purchase and that the selling dealer lied to us by stating "it doesnt come with the trailer anymore", was replaced by GD after explaining the situation to them over the phone.

Lucky you, yes ! Most of us only get extra screws, staples, and sawdust !

I discovered the spare stabilizer jack during the process of getting a receiver installed on the trailer (for bikes/storage racks etc). Im waiting on some award from GD over this jk. I just hope the other issues are resolved properly by competent techs (warranty work)...otherwise this may get interesting for them and us

...that could of happened or someone left to "break" and came back and forgot to pull this out and install it vs "ground shipping" it to me

haha, yes i guess i found the golden ticket like in willy wonka, but this time stuffed away underneath the shower pan in the form of a stabilizer jack. They should restrain these extra parts a little better considering that it almost took my eyes out
