While the rig is at the dealer you might want to crawl around and push, pull, lift, drop everything you can. Try it all a few times each. You will most likely find other items requiring attention that they can take care of at the same time.

As examples my driver’s seat (electric) moved forward when I pushed the button back and moved up when I pushed the button down. The electric sun screens were about the same, when I pushed the right button the left shade came down. LOL Not big problems but still annoying I thought. It's all been fixed of course.

I'm still stuck on the sink fixtures issue. I was looking at the new DP Pathfinder toying with the idea of trading. (Also looked at the Berkshire which is on sale by the factory and a bit nicer I think). Anyway I looked closely at the pictures and thought I recognized the sink fixtures, (bronze looking but actually plastic). I called Coachmen and asked...sure enough the high end diesel pusher (Pathfinder) by Coachmen also has the plastic fixtures. Dang! Might as well keep my Encounter. I can always buy metal fixtures and probably will but only when I am sure I will be keeping this coach for a long time.

And.... that F53 chassis really does run pretty well, (but it's noisy as all get out).
