RV Dealers Upset Over 'Pathetic Quality' of Current RVs

I picked up a new Coachman Chaparral 360IBL almost a month ago for full timing. Quickly found the 12v fridge was not even plugged in, the coax cables were all plugged in the wrong places, and the A/C duct sealing was so horribly done that there was virtually no air flow out of most of the vents. Very minor things so far, but when you pay money for ANYTHING, there is an expectation that everything will work the way it is supposed to.

I think the dealer should be blamed for not checking the unit out before selling it.

In my case I believe the detector was installed too far away from the stove/oven. It is mounted at floor level which is okay but it still has to come from 4' up from the floor level and fall down that far, plus travel about 5 feet and another foot around the corner.

I should be receiving the auxiliary detector today which I will plug in about 3 feet from the stove/oven and at approximately the same level. In addition, since I have a residential frig there is no reason to have the propane even turned on while traveling.
