I don't have as much of a problem with the builders as I do the designers.

Seriously, what were they thinking in some of these TTs when they put the entertainment center directly next to the couch at a 90 degree angle? I realize that was probably the only place left to put it but if it were me I'd have scrapped that design and come up with a better one.


Too funny....I always said the same thing for years, looking at layouts for the perfect entertainment center, which should be directly across from you. Not neck-bending achs for enjoyment.

But I finally found mine....

We have a friend with a Wilderness TT and the bathroom cannot be gotten to unless the slides are out. Some real brainiac thought that one out!

My Fleetwood bounder has a nice deep storage area with three shelves that had a door that wouldn't open over four inches with slides out. It was blocked by a decorative block of wood over the bed. Warranty solution was to remove the block on that side. Works fine now and I don't even miss the block of wood. Another sleepy designer I guess.

Instead of putting something in to hold the same screws, buy better screws next time and replace them. The ones on the outside of our trailer have begun to rust so I assume the inside ones could also.

what most retails don't understand is that there is a great deal of what is called "shake down". when you buy a new trailer when it goes from the production the shake down occurs. The unit goes down the road from point A to point B and things litterally shake loose. Plumbing,trim and so on. If you want a bug free unit buy a 2 to 3 year old trailer well maintained and you be a great deal happier with alot less peoblems.
