We are just about finished up with all the issues and sure hope all will be fine. It seems most of the problems were with components and the lack quality control. Just be thankful you are living in the rig, if not, things may not arise till after the warranty. Wish you luck and happy and safe travels.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805430662925900155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035932613092671755.post-91486546137440209162015-06-04T21:02:44.592-07:002015-06-04T21:02:44.592-07:00Well, you've moved in to your new home and tha...Well, you've moved in to your new home and that's all that matters now!
