Cardinal 5th wheel owner

I have a 2015 Cardinal 3850RL 5th Wheel and am having some issues with it. The slide does not go in all the way on the door side because the center island inside the trailer seems to be in the wrong location. My brother-in-law purchased the same trailer and has the same issue. The exterior duplex outlet is located directly over the water heater, you can't touch the outlet covers because they get so hot and if a wire is plugged in I believe the outer cover will melt. My brother-in-law purchased the same trailer and has the same issue. The automatic leveling jacks when activated allow the slides to come out at the same time, I believe the problem is a bad check valve. Also, the middle leveling jack on the door side comes up off the ground after a while on it's own. There are some other minor issues as well. Is there anyone out there who has the same trailer with the same issues?

To me you need to go back to the dealer for warranty work on your unit. That is what I would do!

Hi! Wish you the best at the dealership. IMHO most service dept are less than desireable. Give them 2 things to fix. They will screw 1 up and leave the other untouched. They wear you down till you fix it your self, if you can. I have a 2016 FR Cardinal 3825. I can't get any answers from the dealer. And very few from FR. Dealer says bring it in, WHAT! Just for an answer as to how big are the waste water tanks. 40 gal black and 80 gal grey. Ha! I have 3 tanks all marked waste water. What the h___ does that mean?
