We recently ordered and have accepted delivery on a 2015 North Trail 33BKSS. We are happy with the camper, however I have a few questions about the level of equipment that has been installed in the unit. After having spent some time with the camper, we've noticed the following: There are no privacy locks on the bedroom or bathroom doors; there are no controls on the refrigerator to set the temperature, only on/off, and the DC converter doesn't have LED's to indicate when a fuse is blown, like it indicates in the manual. These are all things that I attributed to the design of the model we ordered and was content to just accept it. However, I recently took the camper in for service and while there I took the time to walk through the dealer inventory of the same and similar models of my camper and found the following: Most campers had converters with LED's on the 12v fuses; certainly those of the same "Caliber", but even some lesser equipped: Many had privacy locks on the bedroom and bathroom doors; and almost all of them had temperature controls on the refrigerator (Mine has a N611V with no controls, the ones with controls had an N611RT or N611LT (I think I have the model numbers right) which have controls, but are otherwise the same size as the one in my camper. These may be minor points but it almost seems like my camper was built "on the cheap" since it was pre-sold. I would prefer to have the same level of equip that the stock units have. Not a huge deal, but I would sure like to understand the reasoning.

. Found some privacy locksets on Amazon that match our hardware. Just installed them this afternoon. I guess I don't *really* have to adjust the refrigerator. I just thought I should have the option. All in all, I'm still thrilled with the unit. OK..OK 90%. Just picked up from service and found out the AC unit has a bad compressor and needs to be replaced and the kitchen slide is off kilter from the factory and needs to be removed, repaired and re-installed. Not griping, but I'm just sayin....
