It was connected to the inverter, but just sticking up in the air toward the corner of the storage space. The inverter ground to chassis wire was not connected. These supports are temporary (tie-wraps) until I figure a better way. Then I added supports from the underside of the cabinet next to the stove and back where the rubber line connected. Part of the reason the gas line heads downward is that it runs UNDER the stove base. For a fix, I added a different elbow and a couple of inch-long brass pipe to extend the line forward so it could run along the side the stove. In the first image you can see how down angled the slide was and how far down the copper gas line had sagged only a couple of weeks after construction. I noticed it because my top drawer was so misaligned (it would close on its own) that when I leveled the drawer slides, the drawer was dragging on that gas line as it opened and closed. Thus all that weight is pulling and twisting on the copper line and compression fitting. NONE of that span, including the rubber hose, is supported in any way. That copper line runs right toward the outer wall, then turns 90-degrees forward where it connects to a heavy rubber line. Three feet of copper line was connected to the stove regulator via a compression fitting. The stove gas line was not supported nor was it run clear of drawer. Most of these issues are minor enough we will address them ourselves. We only spent a day in the shop getting a few things worked on because it was Friday and we had to hit the road to meet up with our full-time RVing daughter and family. We hit the road the 29th of December and headed straight to Red Bay Service Center. We picked it up from the dealer about the second week in December 2018. The following is a list of the problems we found on our new 2019 motorhome. Not a “thank you, we’ll look into these suggestions” nothing. We first made this post private and sent it to Tiffin. We love the quick setup and tear-down compared to our previous rigs. The overall layout and design is great and suits our needs well. We really love the big front window (all the windows) and riding above the traffic.

The 7k generator has lots of quiet power and the V10 has been plenty of power for everywhere we’ve driven it (towing a full-size F150). We love the shades, the floor, the fireplace, the built-in vacuum – even the over-the-cab-bunk is easy to use. Most of the outlets are well thought out.

We love all the storage, the solid counter-tops and the solid wood cabinetry. We love that the main slide is hydraulic and built like a tank. In a way, the fact that we love this RV makes the unnecessary annoyances all the more annoying. We would buy another in a minute! We just wish manufacturers would take just a little more care into constructing them.

There are some design issues that could be better and there were MANY, but mostly minor, construction issues we came across. I really, REALLY wish I could say that this rig didn’t suffer from some of the same issues. The quality of most of the construction materials is MUCH better.

We put another 10K+ miles on the C – and decided to upgrade once again this time to a Tiffin gas Class A. And while the more expensive RV was better in some ways, it too, had its share of design and construction problems.

After putting 10K+ miles on the trailer, we moved up to another Forest River – this time a class C Sunseeker.

I wrote a book, detailing this list as well as fixes and some education on how to be prepared to own an RV. My daughter and husband bought a Rockwood shortly thereafter (built in the same factory), which added a whole host of additional (and some of the same) problems to our list. We became intimately aware of the design and construction failures. We bought a Forest River Ultra Lite Trailer back in 2016. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Ī short history.
