Yes, I did. I sold it to A&L RV Sales in Chocowinity, NC. We purchased the Cherokee Grey Wolf from them.

It really isn't the sawdust that's the problem, it's the issue of pride in workmanship and quality.  The presence of work debris is indicative of the company's decision to favor high volume and sloppy production over allowing their employees to clean up the messes and vacuum out the places where debris accumulates during the building process.  It seems to plague much of the RV industry.  I doubt many would accept such sloppy work for a brand new home or a car.

The sawdust thing is extremely common on RV builds accross most brands. Don't worry it is only sawdust, it'll be most gone in a decade of use/shaking!

DonC,  with all those mods and extras do you have any room left inside to sleep in that 190?

Just guess, with Warren Buffet as your boss, you could really go places!  Problem is Mr. Buffet most likely wouldn't pay what you're worth.Big smile

Thanks Jato, I appreciate that.  We actually got it back from the dealer today!  Whoo hoo, maybe it's actually fixed! 

I guess you really did have a good dealer.  Ours had sawdust everywhere, holes that apparently had been put in wrong places then filled with foam etc.  Not sure since it was one of the last 195, if they cobbled it together or what.
