First Night, First Impressions

[nosticks]

Picked up my new 324RLQ Mountaineer Saturday after a very thorough indoctrination with the dealer. The tech spotted a few things I didn't and corrected them on the spot. One slide was very noisy extending and retracting, and that was fixed. The bracket I mentioned in another post rubbing the hydraulic lines was also fixed.

So on to a campground a few miles up the road for the first night. I spent hours trying to debug the tv reception problem, which is the bedroom tv works flawless on cable of antenna. Yes, I remembered to turn off the antenna amplifier when going to cable. The lr tv picture was total snow yet you could tell the stations were there, just not anywhere near watching, as if there is a bad connection somewhere between the entry point and the tv. Now that I'm home I'll pull the plates and see if any connections were botched. Did it work during the walk through, on one channel it did, but that was one of the WWJD type channels that boomed in with a million watts and could be picked up with out anything attached.

The next problem was I want to know who filled the mattress with river rocks or marbles. It has to be the most, I mean most uncomfortable mattress ever produced. I'm still picking splinters out of my shins from the plywood base under the bed, needs a little rounding off with a finish sander. If that mattress cost $99, Keystone got ripped. It goes, I'm still feeling the flechette wounds in my back and hope they heal before next weekend. I wouldn't even donate it to charity unless I could drive by an toss it off the truck.

Other than that I love my Mountaineer.
