The down side is we had to book her in for some warranty work.. Airstream NW in Gladstone, OR were fabulous. They took care of everything and even found time for a wash!
The list of warranty work was as follows:
1. Vista window above dinette leaking in lower front corner. (Was actually the fantastic fan!)
2. There is an intermittent issue with the Thermostat. When the CCC2 is off, you can push the "inside temp" button and get an accurate reading. But if you turn the CCC2 ON and then try the "inside temp" it will read 32F. This results in the thermostatic control of temperature not functioning. This typically occurred when it is raining.
3. A water leak from the plumbing has started. it is at the in coming water line under sink.
4. The main awning leaks at top middle, this appears to be from the joint of the material to the metal housing.
5. Rivet in bedroom closet falling out
6. Refrigerator fan vibrates the whole airstream.
7. Propane tank holder recall issue.
We managed to find time to replace the "horrible to use" Claion M502 AV unit with a more traditional and easy to use Furrion DV3100 unit. I can highly recommend this unit. It sounds clean, it is easy to use. has bluetooth and looks stylish to boot. It does not have HD radio or HDMI, but these are things I can live without!
The dinette speakers got switch out for some nice Infinity units too, so all is sounding sweet.
We are about to rock out for another coast trip, so check in soon :)
