Nothing major mishaps or issues, just a few minor ones:
1) Furnace fan starts making a funny squeeky noise about 1 minute before it's due to shut off. This furnace has one SERIOUS blower. We already call it the "turbo furnace". Just the annoying odd noise near the end of it's cycle.
2) Discovered the hard way that there is a second grey water valve. Oops.
3) Seal on the emergency exit window (beside the table and chairs) not so good. Driving rain was blowing it up through the weep hole, and I could hear the wind howling through the gap in the seal.
4) Have to remember to park the rig to situate the sewer fitting at the campsite BETWEEN the front and rear sewer outlet to prevent having to pull forward to reach the back outlet.
Overall, we were very impressed with the maiden voyage. The "livability" of the rig is extremely good, with good placement of the things you would need day to day.
On the towing side, I can definately feel the extra weight over our old trailer. Although it seemed a lot heavier, power didn't seem to be a real issue. I was impressed how it yanked it up those mountain hills.
We drove home today in pretty nasty crosswinds, and although I could feel them from time to time, they were never into the squirelly category.
I find myself driving slower with this rig, because common sense tells me this thing is going to need a lot more room to slow it down.
Lastly, this thing is clearly going to take more practice to back up.
It's clearly in a different class from our old 29 footer.
That's the maiden report.
