337 SHAKEDOWN Cruise ... PDI ... Post Delivery Inspection

[gr8daggett]

Took our new 337RLS out for her first real camping trip.
Nice to be retired and go during the week before school is out.


Got her all setup to checkout the systems and see how much I forgot over the winter.


The dogs are getting use to the new digs.


Things went pretty well except for:
Kitchen Island water leaks & low water pressure.
No Radio out the trailer speakers.

Too cold to check the AC and forgot a separate hose to check the Black Tank Flush.

Overall ... love our 337 !!!
Looking forward to summer fun, GD Owners Rally and winter 2015-16 in Arizona.

That's a pretty short "fix-it" list for a new rig. Congratulations on a successful outing! We're heading out on Monday for three months on the road in our '14 337.

Mike, glad you could find a campsite, judging by your first pic that place is packed! Lol.
Seriously, glad your first trip is a success, fix the small items you have found and a couple good trips later you won't even remember the issues.
How do you like the Andersen camper levelers? I just discovered these yesterday, looks very interesting, would like real world feedback.

[gr8daggett]

Scott, I really like the Andersen levelers. We used them on our last TT as well.
Some people say that they slip, but I have yet to find that to be the case.
So much less to haul and like in this case we just wanted to raise it a little.
You get a continuous amount of adjustment.
Boards or plastic legos would have been too much.

Mike looks like you have the self leveler system do you need the Anderson levelers also? That is a nice looking campground where is it at

Lucky to find a campsite in that place!
The kitchen water pressure is a complaint across the board from just about every model. Some are worse than others. Mine is adequate but barely. Even the outdoor kitchen sink at the end of the RV has better water pressure.

As for the speakers try everything else too. Tried the radio first and go t nothing then figured out I had to crank up the antenna and turn on the antenna amplifier to get the radio to work. Since then I havent used it. If Im listening to music its nearly always from the AV input connected to a mp3 player or smartphone so I can listen to what I want when I want. Just upgraded the speakers and holy cow what a difference that made! Ive seen some cheap worthless speakers over the years but the ones I pulled out of the ceiling of this RV are the clear winners in the "I can believe someone actually wasted money on these" category. Paper cones and I think the speaker in my phone has a bigger magnet. GD could spend an extra $100 on speakers and top the market easily, or at least offer a "Premium sound package"

The campground is Hidden Valley RV Resort & Campground in Milton, WI. There were only 5 of us campers there from Tuesday till Friday.
Weekends are usually crazy. They have free live bands for 3 weekends after the opener in late April.

No self-levelers on the 337.

Justin, I have tried everything I can think of for that radio. I can hear everything if I plug-in headphones but speakers are silent.
DVD & CD plays through the TV. ????? I hooked up my old PS3 to play DVDs thru the TV.

We have a bunch of graduations the next couple weeks so I took it to the dealer for some easy fixes & the radio.
Took a week to get a drop off date and then they keep it two weeks. The reason why one tries to fix things themselves.
If dealer does not fix then I am replacing everything with real audio components.
