North Point 361REQS Initial Repair Visit
On Monday I'm taking our new 2016 North Point 361REQS to the dealer for its initial visit for repairs. Some of the items we found were on the PDI and some since we've had the trailer. After reading some of the other post about issues with their new trailer's, I have some expectation management and I don't think the amount of repairs is out of the ordinary. A couple of the items are, "I'm not sure if this correct", type questions. Below is a list of what we have wrote up. I have also done some of the quick fixes (not on the list now) myself. I have not added any of the pics referenced in the list below;
1. Table top cracked (see pic 1)
2. Kitchen Left Side sink drain scratched and gouged (see pic 2)
3. Propane detector sticker has pulled off varnish (backside of sink counter) (I temporarily fixed with varnish pens, but needs to be fixed, and new clear, not white, sticker applied) (see pic 3)
4. Some of the upper trim, wall to ceiling (dark color), needs be equal up and down with the next piece (I’m not asking them to be butted together) (see pic 4)
5. Side to side ceiling bow in bedroom needs to be re-secured, others need checked (see pic 5)
6. Dinette slide left side cap molding varnish coming off at bottom (see pic 6)
7. Dinette slide left side metal base plate rubbing the carpet and leaving a wear mark and 2x6 stain on carpet (I have cleaned carpet, but it is still rubbing) (see pic 7)
8. Dinette Slide frequently trips circuit breaker when coming all the way in our out.
9. Wall seam tape bubbling throughout coach (see pic 8)
10. LCI Remote (for slides, jacks, awning, etc.) does not work and is in very used condition (we also have no instruction manual or code to reference)
11.Right side kitchen slide wall trim (from cap to side wall) missing (see pic 9)
12.Hose does not stay in vacuum wall plate on first stair step. Difficult to use the hose as intended.
13.Bottom plastic cap on rear awning right upright bracket missing (see pic 10)
14.Front awning, rear (left) bracket (screwed to side of trailer) is loose. Top and bottom screws holes are stripped (see pic 11)
15.Both awnings unwind the fabric without the awning coming out (I need to pull on a side couple times in order to get the awning to extend), and the trailer is successfully leveled per the auto leveling system (see pic 12)
16.The awnings does not stop when it is fully extended and will wind backwards (Is this normal?) (see pic 13)
17.Incorrect thermostat for a heat pump (no electric heat selection) (see pic 14)
18.Slide #3 not extracting all the way on the mid to top right hand (from the inside) side. Is not level vertically outside (even looks out of level) (see pic 15 and 16). Slide is not evenly spaced left to right, tight on rear side (see pic 17 and 18). Outside rear (left) slide seal on wall is uneven (either wall is cut incorrect or seal is not affixed properly).
19.Seal, on outside, above #4 dinette slide split and ripped (see pic 19 and 20).
20.Ladder, at the rear, is bent in the middle, pulled down, and not well attached at the bottom (see pic 21 and 22).
21.USB ports by rear TV and thermostat do not work.
22.On roof, the right rear corner seam, between rear wall and roof needs additional Dicor sealant (potential leaking point)
23.Heat Pump, on roof, fins are damaged and the cover is warped on left middle side (cover appears to be rubbing against fins).
24.Top drawer, in kitchen closest to the living room, has issues closing sometimes and needs adjusted.
25.Kitchen faucet will leak, slightly, when turned off, with or without pressure in the system.
26.One of the latches that holds the outside vent cover, for the stove, is broke.
