It's wonderful to have hope with a new rig. Me? I will be doing one of 2 things by the end of February 2023 (for reference we have a 2018 375RES Solitude)....Either tear the cheap crap building materials out and rebuild with quality what I thought I paid for, or going Class A. I have spent 3 freaking years plugging leaks and cussing about water damage to the cheap cellulose faux wood in this thing. The 375 is a great layout for full timers...like us. It fails with material quality and installation of any door and window to manufacturer installation....IOW, they all leaked and needed silicon caulk. The forward basement had leaked so bad before we bought this in 2019 from one of our young armed forces lads, I had to pull the flooring up that included where the furnace and water controls are housed and replace it.
Despite the GD catastrophe we bought, the wife and I are coming off 3 years on the road made interesting by the pandemic and the fact neither of us had spent anytime around RVs before we went crazy and sold everything with the house and bought our rig. I spent 40+ years around commercial construction and travel has been my friend all my life. As soon as I can get my bride as recovered from Covid as she'll ever be, we're doing a far West tour sans California, Washington and Oregon come March 1. What we travel in remains to be seen.
