Maiden Voyage
From the beginning ~~ we traded our 2017 HC 370 BR on a 2019 Montana 3761FC at CW in Myrtle Beach. It was our 4th purchase there as Sean Kwant in sales is fantastic to work with. Additionally, service has been great to work with in both Myrtle locations.
Off we go to a fantastic CG near home. After unhitching utilities were connected. After getting slides out the 2 awning went out and the wire cover of one landed on the ground. Problem 1 was corrected when I got home and had my 8' ladder available. That very night I noticed the area around the shower handle was not completely caulked. Problem 2 fixed the next day after a trip to Lows. After 6 days and 5 nights every system was used longer than at PDI where we found nothing we found nothing else!
Everything except two items we really like with the new 3761FL. Those two are the washer water is plumbed into the black tank of the 1/2 bath. Into the gray tank would make more sense! The other item is the only I will change eventually, those damn 1 piece steps that fold into the doorway. I know most rave about this new fad but why? Now you get to adjust feet to the ground, are able to clean them or put dirt and/or rain water in the 5er, know they stick out far if you are at a rest stop or truck stop. Not too mention if in storage and another unit is next to yours you may not be able to get in.
Overall, this seems the best one yet and we have had several!

That's great you have had so few issues. 
Even tho I've never had them, I'm not a fan of those steps either.

Agree with the step comments. Some like, some hate. Congrats on the new rig.

Congratulations on the new rig. One condition of us buying ours was that it had to have the Lippert folding steps, so they got a kit from Keystone and made the change.

Wish I had known that 2 weeks ago. Now it will be out of pocket. Maybe I'll get a few cents at the recycle yard? Not going to get it done until fall.

If you take those step off, post them here for sale and also craigs list. Many older rig owners wish they had them. We're in the minority.

Good thought but shipping costs will be prohibitive. I have ordered the Waste Master sewer hose and Snap Caps and have other priorities as does my wife. Looks like fall before they come off. I can see where they may be nice on a seasonal site but fail to see any other advantage.
