1. THE HOSE FOR THE EUREKA CENTRAL VACUUM WAS RUN UNDER THE HEATING HOSES AND UP UNDER THE STEPS. WHILE RUNNING THE HEATER WE NOTICES A BURNING PLASTIC SMELL FROM UNDER THE STEPS AND HEAT COMING FROM THE VACUUM CONNECTION. I REMOVED THE COVERS ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT THE HOSE WAS BEING MELTED BY THE HEAT RUNS THAT WERE LAID OVER TOP OF IT I DON'T KNOW IF THIS COULD HAVE STARTED A FIRE, IT CLEARLY PRODUCED A UNFAVORABLE SMELL AND CONCERN. I HAVE REMOVED THE HOSE FROM AROUND THE HEAT DUCTS AND AWAIT A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. 2. THE MICROWAVE AND GROUND FAULT IN THE KITCHEN BUMP OUT BOTH BLEW AFTER THE FIRST TRIP WITH THE UNIT AND WE WERE UNABLE TO RESET THE BREAKER. THE JUNCTION BOX UNDER THE SLIDE OUT IS NOT WATERPROOF AND THAT IT WAS FULL OF WATER. 3.TWO PIECE OF MOLDING ON THE SLIDES ARE NOT SECURED AND HAVE COME OUT WHILE DRIVING. LUCKILY WE HAVE CAUGHT THEM AND PUT THEM BACK ON BEFORE THEY CAME COMPLETELY LOOSE AND HIT A CAR. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY GLUED THEM, BUT THE TOP ONE CAME LOOSE DRIVING HOME AFTER THE REPAIR IT HAPPENS WITHIN 50 MILES OF TRAVEL. *TR
