We have had it a few months now and done several trips.
 
The good-
 
Love the layout.  Our favorite feature, the trash hole.  For anyone that's had to deal with the age old trouble of where to put the bleeping trash can, we love it. Kid digs the bunk I love not towing The sad-
 
Went to pick up the unit and pulling out from storage we get a waterfall out of the joint at the bottom of the fiberglass front cap on the passenger side..  Keep in mind this was stored inside, very clean but this is 100% my fault.  See, I hate heights, ladders and anything that puts me more than a few inches off the ground.  I should have gotten up there and inspected things better.  Never fear though, called our body shop and will be getting it in to have the front cap pulled to inspect, dry, effect any repairs needed to deal with the water.  I don't believe it's been chronically leaking, so that's good.  More than likely it sat a long time and the sealant dried up and once it started getting used some cracks formed and water got in.  No sign at all of water getting inside the bunk area.  I did swallow my fear, get on the roof, and reapply sealant to close up any potential gaps.  We have had MASSIVE rain since then with no signs of any water getting in.  In short though, water bad and not nipping things in the bud quickly can turn a simple lower cost repair into a major expense down the road. Setting up a right proper toad or tow dolly means $$, someday we will have our car with us.  Mean time, two walkies and a follow car when we decide we really really need a follow car. Furious day driving around replacing the propane leak/CO detector right before we were headed out for a trip. The steering likes to wander a little, I think an alignment is in the cards.  This was expected though, so not a huge deal..  I also think some upgrades to the sway control is in order to reduce body roll. The entertainment switch box thingy is a nightmare to work. Ugh. The overhead doors above the dinette and sofa have issues.  The hings have a plastic piece that inserts into the door and they have come lose/out on several doors.  My sad attempt at fixing that have not worked well. Unfortunately we won't be hitting the Fort in a few years with this unit, waiting out some updates at DW before we trek back.  We did do a 10 day road trip in Rhino for Thanksgiving though and that got us some solid time on the road.  We even got iced in for several days at Palo Duro Canyon state park.  Way glad we topped off the propane.  I wish I had had my new camera gear for the trip.
 
Only thing we wish were different was recliner/love seat option and the big fridge.  Other than that we are super happy with the RV and love having the motor home.
 
I do have a YouTube channel where I will be putting up videos on some of these issues and how they get addressed over time along with our 2016 Texas State Park series.  Texas Rv'in is the channel name.
