Montana

We got a 3761FL with a residential fridge. it has a 2kw inverter for the fridge and 5 outlets in the coach. I already added another battery. And i see the LONG journey has just begun with needs/wants. Sat, solar, washer/drier, internet, among others!
We tow it with a 2019 F350 Superduty dually 6.7 diesel which has been chipped with a Banks derringer and 4" exhaust.
Ya, the wants list goes on and on. Luckily we have 4 more years before we go fulltime, hope by then we are done with the needs list.
Thanks for the welcome!

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the new fiver.
In hindsight wish I'd gotten the dually but what I have works OK, just not much headroom.

brand new rig warranty issues

Well, we have been shaking down the rig in the driveway. so far here is the list
living room TV stopped working 2nd day
microwave door never closed tightly
batteries will not charge on shore power
hole in awning
dining room slide doesn't close tightly
bathroom door doesn't have magnetic catch on the jamb to keep the door closed.
weather-stripping on pass thru drivers side door sticks to door and tears off every time we open it.
read drivers side basement door doesn't latch.
all of the basement door hardware is corroding or rusting, we have it 2 weeks now, CW says cosmetic will not likely be covered by warranty.
hope CW gets it repaired before too long!
Kind of disappointed seeing this is a new rig. Hoping Keystone covers it all.

The lists of wants/needs never ends!

I would recommend not leaving your rig at CW waiting on parts. Parts have been hard to get. Schedule an appointment to have all the items looked at and sent to Keystone for warranty approval. You can use the camper while waiting for most of these. When the parts arrive you can take it back in.
