We also had a cable from one of the black tanks that was pinched between the frame and plywood. This was fixed before we signed the paperwork.
As I’m sure you know, the best thing to do is get out and use it. The way they throw these together so fast, there will be issues. Hopefully nothing major. Congrats and good luck!

We had the same issue with the front compartment on the 392MBL. I ended up making a longer catch rod so that it would catch on the metal lip and lock. The side latches caught, but the middle was just too short. Wasn't a big deal, but slightly annoying on a brand new rig.
The only other issue I have found so far (and I knew to test in advance) was that the bedroom and living room coax connections were switched. I was able to swap them back and all seems fine now.
The Hisense double door fridge seems to open itself when moving down the road, so I am going to install some eyelets on either side to run a bungee across while going down the road. This seems to be common on the fridge though and not just a Coachmen issue.
We take it out this coming Saturday for 7 days, so it will be a good shakedown for it. The layout is fantastic though and so far we are loving it!
