3500rl and a report card

We recently purchased a new 2006 3500rl. After doing the PDI and taking it home, we had no troubles the first few days. After 3 days, the following items came up.
1. The kitchen sink faucet, one handle does both, is apparently out of whack as you cannot get the hot water to go full hot, just lukewarm. Called the dealer and he is sending me one to replace it with. Hope thats the problem.
2. The toilet would not hold water. Ugh that is bad!!
I took the top part off and found that the seal had been installed upside down from the factory. Removed and replaced correctly and viola , no more problem
3. The phone connection did not work.
I took it out and it was wired just backwards. Rewired it and
now we got phone connections

We must have been lucky as these few items do not in anyway deter us from so far, appreciating the workmanship and dealer support in our Montana.

Just these notes in case someone else has the same problems.

Congratulations, I think there are always a few minor problems, hopefully none of yours will be major ones.
