Minor issue #1:Hinge on countertop extension was not properly connected, one of the screws strpped out and hinge is only connected by 1 screw (minor, I could fix but I'll let them)
Minor Issue #2: Windshield wash hoses dry rotted and cracked(Sat in Florida sun probably explains that)
Minor Issue #3: Workstation tray located on dash in front of passenger seat will not stay secured while driving.Poor design in my opinion.
The next items should never have let them deliver coach to me. Should never have gotten by them.
Item#1: Side mirror cameras were reversed, when left blinker was turned on the right side of coach appeared in camera and vise versa.(I crawled under dash and finally found wires and was able to fix this one.)
Item #2: This is the main reason I am bringing it down to them. At the rear of my driver side slide there is a vertical piece of trim molding that has pulled away from the body of the coach. Lazy Days claims their body shop can fix this. I will not be a happy camper if they can't !!

We had the same problem with our 2013 Adventurer. Looking a little closer at the "latch" mechanism it's nothing more than a magnet affixed to the sliding top and a steel plate affixed to the dash. In our case the steel plate was smaller than the magnet.
I went down to the shop and cut a larger plate from some flat stock. I drilled and countersunk a hole in it and replaced the original. Now it latches fine. I'm sure I could have had Winnebago do something, but my guess was that there wasn't a "new design" so they would just replace the parts with another set of the same things.
Wait until you try to setup the TV and entertainment center to work with the satellite dish. We have a Samsung TV, a Sony entertainment center, a DirecTV receiver, and a Winegard Trav'ler dish. The directions for each component makes the assumption all the other components are the same brand. Each brand has it's own unique technical jargon. You almost need an interpreter to understand which terms are interchangeable.
It took me more time to decipher the conflicting languages than it did to actually setup the system. I quickly learned that if you make a mistake just shut the whole thing down and start over. If you continue on or try to back track you'll end up in a corner you'll never be able to work your way out of.
