It's a shame you eliminated larger generators. I use a Powerhorse 7000w inverter generator that runs everything on my 2020 Eagle 332CBOK with 2 a/c units and a residential refrigerator. It's very...

I agree, that's a lot of initial issues. We purchased our 2020 332 cbok in September. The only issue I've had with it is a screw in the floor that is sticking up from under the linoleum.

I have a screw pushing up through the linoleum floor also. What did you do to fix this? I don't want to take it to the shop for that.

Mine is in the forward outside storage compartment. The strange thing is, you can remove the "key" like switch when it's off but not when it is on.
