The list of bugs is longer than I'd like (30 items) and the dealer has some personnel issues with the service manager. I'm dealing with the general manager now and things seem to be going ok. Quality control seems to be a very real problem now days. Shower leaks, water pump leaks, slide issues, furniture issues, the list goes on and on. The thing is, because of this I've gotten pretty picky on what I will let slide. Dealer seems to be ok with that. Some of it I was forced to fix myself, like the leaks just because I can't stand an active situation, vs something that can be addressed later. I know the dealer has been in contact with forest river on the qc issues. When the unit has a msrp north of $100k the expectation is quite a bit higher.
We'll get the list knocked out, and be good to go before long.

It is a shame that there is such crappy workmanship.........

Looks like Burlington Bay. We just got home from camping up there for Tall Ships as well. Went thru Two Harbors a couple times over the weekend.

This was our second trip to the Tall Ships but first time to with a rally involved, we had a great time at the rally but the Tall Ships this year wasn't the greatest event we've been to, very poorly organized.

It is Burlington Bay, nice place. We are heading out in the morning to some friends house in Amery Wisconsin for a few days.
