Is this normal?

These pics look just like mine :) Mike, if you're looking for more space, look behind the panel to the right of the stove and the dummy panel under the sink as well. There's a ton of unused space in both areas. We're planning to use the 9" or so bit to the right of the stove for a pull-out trash can. We also plan to box out the area under the sink better, then remove the outside slide-out two-burner stove (which we never use, it's too high for comfort) and close that off. Then we'll frame in a shoe storage area inside under the counter where it used to go.

I'll post this under mods as I get it done.
 
16375343828126858880578956643025.jpgthis is our kitchen, we have 4 drawers next to the stove and we removed the dinning room table and chairs and replaced them with the cabinet. We also do not have an outside kitchen for the reason you mentioned, it wouldn't be used. Inside we have a plethora of space and places to put stuff, it's outside storage, this is where we "sacrificed". We only have the "big one" & the one in front which is just space for a generator.

This might not be appropriate for this thread but I have a 2023 386BH and was curious if you have ever had issues with the vacuum breaker that's located in the wall between the master and the bathroom next to it? I've had 2 fail in 2 months. Would love some feed back
 
We got a new 2021 Milestone 386BH and have a few startup issues. In discussions with the service manager I had cause to remove the back wall of the basement to look at the heating ductwork. This is what I found.

I've never seen sloppier work. Is this typical of Heartland? Anybody else seen this?

Thanks!
Yes it seems that this sort of work came into fruition in the 2010's. I have seen worse. We bought a slightly used Landmark 365 and it was better than what you found. BUT, I was in that compartment, with the wall inside the big compartment removed to seek out an apparent leak. THERE IT WAS, the main drain pipe from the shower, and it has separated and it was CLEAR that ALL of the other pipe connections had been glued but that one. So, I went out and bought Black Pipe Cement and I ran a support scheme of Bailing Wire BELOW the first 90 degree elbow up into the CEILING of that Compartment to ensure that it never separates again. That was a "dope smoking during lunch" operation if I have ever seen one. Missing the cement on such a large pipe was a HAZE induced operation.

Typical of Heartland. Instead of using a saw to make a nice cut-out, they use a hammer and just knock a hole in a wall. Their workmanship and quality control is really a joke. You better be handy and able to use tools if you purchase any RV
