CharlieM - Yes camped first night of owner ship. 50 amp electric, water and sewer.  

No camp store, no bath house, and only 2 other campers. Quiet, no lights, on the river, very peaceful!

The Toilet issue was the valve was not clicked in both sides.  Once fixed, holds water like it should.

Phone went dead, my rookie mistake.  Pictures tomorrow for sure.

Nice set up. I like the colors and the fact you camped as part of the pickup trip. Nothing like a trip home shake-down cruise.  :)

[quote source="/post/10271/thread" timestamp="1430618965" author="@tincan"]LOL,

Nope, no kids, babies or otherwise.  I often think of my motor vehicles as a person, 20+ years of driving big trucks.  I get a bit possessive and have been known to give them names.  They are part of me, so naturally I think of my second and last camper as my new baby, something to be coddled and cared for.  

2 days straight on the road to get her home, so I am a bit exhausted, will post pictures and details tomorrow.[/quote]I was supposed to pickup my baby last weekend but will just have it this weekend because the land where the storage building was too soft because of the water (lots of rain and snow melting)  :(

OK here are some pics or picture links.

Hopefully this works.  Let me know.  Some of the pictures are named and self explanatory.  Some are not.  The toilette was broken, but the valve just pops in place not sure how it got out, but it is fine and works well.

There was a LOT of caulking issues.  Everything attached to the outside was sealed with silicon. It is all pealing away and cracking.  There was a bunch of the front trim missing sealant, I bought a tube at my RV dealer and sealed it up the next day.  There is one picture caulk and no caulk that shows a small 1/2 inch gap.  There were sections 5 and 6 inch without caulk. 

Many of these have been sent to Livin Lite.  I believe that the dealer sealed everything with silicon, even stuff that already has a rubber seal like the outside shower and the water hook up. 

I have not been on the roof yet.  I will keep this updated.  Work has been crazy, and I have been tired.

More pictures to follow.

Soft ground is no good place for a camper.  I poured a driveway extension to hold my camper.

The camper is in storage inside a building but the land around the building had too much water. I am supposed to go pick it up tomorrow!

You appear to have linked to your account. Can't get to them. It's best to link them to the body of the post.

tincan - I confirm we can see the gallery now. Was the fold-up counter extension something you did or is it by LivinLite?

LOL.. the infamous furpod.. on the phone with a fellow podder with an issue I think. Or maybe the wife.. sometimes one and the same.

The fold up counter is Livin lite.  The extra counter looks like someone leaned on it when locked in the up position.  The screw has been pulled out.  Not a big deal, I was planning on installing a Cherry butcher block there anyways. Got some laying around.

All the exterior caulking is silicon and is all coming off.  Once washed I will wax and start the process of removing the silicon and replacing with RV caulk.
