2022 Wraith 34W New Owner

[TxWraith34W]

Hi all... I just purchased a 22 Nexus Wraith 34W. I have had this unit for a week today. Needless to say I am not impressed with Nexus quality.

So far...
Cabinet drawer slides out of alignment.
Poor routing of electrical and heating ducts.
Mismatch of door latches...
Trailer wire connector missing mounting plate.
Remote pump switch in wet bay not wired.

Improvements planned
1. Adding lighted switches for water pump and water heaters, so we know when they are on.
2. Replacing the dash stero. Ours came with a Dual radio that is terrible.
3. New horn. The one on this chassis sounds worst than a scooter horn.

And so we move forward...

Who did you purchase it from? Just curious how do you know the electrical and heating ducts are poor? Just the location of them or something else? Getting one of these next month, good to have insight on what to check before I take delivery, I’m hoping the dealer does a good PDI

Purchased from Motorhome Specialists RV (mhsrv.com). Which my biggest issue is with their service department. I have left many messages about getting the rig back in for the warranty work and have not received a reply. Make sure everything is taken care of up front before you sign the dotted line.
As for the routing of the heater lines and the electrical. These were found while trying to align the drawers. I had two AC wires laid in such a way, that the drawer under the oven would rub them and sooner or later start a fire. There were easily rerouted but attention to detail. As for the heater duct lines, these also were routed in ways that the drawers in the wardrobe area would end up pinching or rubbing them.
Some of our improvements already to date.
1. Added bracing to the bottom of the larger drawers. The bottoms would popout even with nothing in them. The side walls are thin and they flex too much and thus the bottom falls out. Simple fix. Use some 3/8 x 3" popular stock and cut two braces per drawer. Installed with small L brackets from Amazon and screws from the back of the drawer into the brace. So far no further issues.
2. Lighting in Pantry. Got some two foot 12V LED strips (4 each) and wired them to a new door switch. The strips were installed on the inside of the face frame. Made all the difference, we can actually see in there now.) (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08JQP9LNG/?tag=rvf01-20
3. Installed RAM Tough rail across the top of the dash for mounting of TMPS, break, and cell phone mount
4. Added Sirius Radio. (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I59XQKO/?tag=rvf01-20)
5. Horn.... The regular horn was weaker than a scooter horn. Installed a small horn. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TM4K3GK/?tag=rvf01-20)
Next planned upgrades:
1. Dirt Devil Vacuum Cleaner.
2. New radio and speakers behind the seats.
3. Satellite Antenna
4. Lithium Batteries and more solar panels
