Pump did not work tried all suggestions from tab forum called rv dealer who sent me call Ohio , they sent me new pump,stated having problems with pumps. Next 4 door cabinet above hinges popped out, super GLUE to fix.next a/c and frig filters good luck trying to get to them to clean poor design.next bath room floor started to crack at drain cover, epoxy that.frig compressor runs really hot,not set on coldest setting,with outside fan on,added another fan under frig ,there is a 5inch hole circle for air to go up to coolest tubes. Another poor design.drain pipes are really low ,so hassle to get higher than camp site fill tube.   Other than that ,oh hot water,but not wanting to run furnace, took awhile to figure that out ,needs better pics of water lines and shut off valves.  So I guess for 20k that's what u get it is not a comp size airstream which is 41k!

    Sounds like it just wasn't your day, but at least you've come to the right place.  

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    @nckoala That's a rough start but it does sound like you managed to figure things out, good work. Ours was 1&1/2 years old when we bought it and we've had none of these issues. Not sure I'd have your fortitude!

    Reminds me of that old joke - "Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, did you enjoy the play?" Hang in there. These really are great trailers.

    Sounds like you are having a bit of bad luck.  Bummer.  We had a few issues we fixed ourselves with our 400.  And T@Bs are about as well made as you can get.  I'm just happy my wife and I agreed on a travel trailer rather than a boat. Boats sink.
