That was checked and found satisfactory. The calking in the kitchen and bathroom looked and still looks good. But nonetheless the faucet started to leak somewhere under the sink.
That was also done. But he didn't check to see if the counter tops and the floor were level to each other. It never crossed his mind, or mine, they'd be added on a slant. That something like that could even happen in a new RV. In the years I've camped and those I've been on these RV forums, no one ever mentioned to check the floors to counter-tops for both being level. We'll have to live with the floor tilted because trying to cook and eat and make coffee when everything is running down to one end of the pans, pots, cups and dishes just wont work. Because the bathroom door keeps flapping back into the bunk area and is in our way, we bought a cat door to put in the bathroom door today. This is so we can close the bathroom door and the cats still get to the litterpan in the shower. It was that or remove the door altogether. We have a floor to ceiling curtain hung between the fridge and cabinet across from it for privacy and more room when showering and or getting dressed. The curtain works well.
We never saw mention anywhere of checking the countertops/stove/sink/bar to see if they were level to the floor when the floor is level. This is something people better start checking for. Because this would be so hard and time consuming to fix for a dealer, the buyer would do better to reject the unit and demand one with everything on the level. You can be sure when the day comes to replace this TT, and I would do it now if my husband would agree to it, that will be the first thing I'll check. And to make sure the frame isn't "off" in some way, I'll have a handful of small levels with me.
Another thing to check and see if it's level is the slides. I heard several mentions of level floors but slides that sagged when out.
It's not just the slanted countertops and the leaks under the sink.... it's when it's all added up, the bellying awning, the kitchen window an average size women can't reach, awning windows you can't adjust, kinked hose in outside shower, the stabilizers destroyed the first few trips out, the chronic dragging of the spare or back bumper/tray, the darkness inside from the smoke windows, the damp mattress when the heat is on and more.... all of it ....that makes us a little upset.
I hope they ARE added to the checklist. Maybe if people start checking and refusing delivery of these units with tilted cabinets, the mfgs will have better quality control right inside the factory. Better checking before the unit rolls out the door....
