What marty said x2
We spent Feb + 2 weeks in March full time in it + we have been out several times since. No major issues. We love it. I consider the following list minor and I have or will address them myself.
- I have two spots where interior wood trim has bowed up maybe 1/2" - I fixed one already and will fix the other soon.
- I have Dish Network with a tailgater...many many threads on the splitters Keystone uses. I have beat the issue for now and plan to install direct coax link from docking station to Dish black box soon.
- I had a Bose sound bar bought from Sams for previous RV so i put it in the Monte and bypass the little built-in speakers for our TV watching.
- We like to listen to AM talk radio - but the radio in our past 2 units + the Monte are pathetic-to-nothing but static for AM reception. Based on info in the forum, there could be an antenna rolled up behind the radio. It is on my list to check. I notice Forest River still installs outside radio antenna on Cardinals. Wish we had an outside antenna for AM radio listening.
- It would be nice if they labeled the switches in the control panel (ceiling fan, front cap lights etc) - I added labels.
It would be nice if they labeled the black tank flush connections or maybe use black plastic covers. They are white just like fresh water connection. I figured it out after a while.
- In hot TX summers - A/Cs struggle to keep it tolerable in living room and bedroom. Nightime is no problem. Intend to add 3rd AC someday.
- slow rise shades...I need to work on a couple of them to get them to work correctly.
- the leather pad trim above the entry door pulled off the wall on one side. I fixed it already.
- the hatch door on the outside TV started leaking at some point. I find bits of water in the bottom of the TV compartment. No issues with the TV however. The door is not sealing uniformly to the rubber gaskets. I intend to get this fixed by dealer under warranty later this year.
- wish ours had a handrail on the steps to the bedroom. Looks like the 2019s have a handrail. I need to add one.
- Thetford toilets have worked fine so far (no leaks) - but based on knowledge from this forum I will install a Dometic 320 in the front bath this week. The half bath toilet will be replaced later in the year or as soon as my money tree grows some new leaves.
- on demand hot water has been fantastic for showers and tub. In cold weather DW supplements tub with teapot full of boiling water. Now, during summer - I may need to turn the water temp down a bit!! It is set on 128* now and it comes out very hot with warm summer city water.
- I added covers over the skylights vents.
- in-house vacuum works great!
- residential fridge is great!
- we intend to add washer/dryer separates someday...money tree thing again.
- LCI lift system is friggin' amazing.
- No problems with the half bath door yet. Some folks have trouble with the door...but I speak to it kindly everytime I go by...good boy! keep up the good work.
- The cabinet door to the control center...oh man...you will forget to close it and bump your head on it multiple times...but when DW hits her head on the door - that is when you will do the research on the forum and come up with a fix so that you NEVER leave it open again.
