Did not see it.  Dometic replaced it.

Am curious as to what line ruptured?  What caused it to rupture?  Were you able to see where the line was compromised?  My Dometic, after 10 years, developed a small leak that caused the ammonia gas to escape, thus it had to be retired.  Am sure you had to get a new one to replace yours, as I did as well.

Glad to hear your dealer took care of everything.  If only they took care of the 'details' at the factory, none of this would have happened in the first place.

What I do not like are the little tray tables that go into the couch arms - too small and angled way down.  I'd love to find an alternative tray.

Hello, apologies for resurrecting/hijacking an older thread, but I didn't want to start a new one on the same subject.
My wife and I are looking at a new trailer, and the 202 is on the short list. I saw a couple of posters on this thread had ordered and/or received a 202 so I was wondering if they have any complaints, comments or ???? Even if we ordered one now it would be a wait for it to be built.
We have an A-Frame camper that we had to completely rebuild that we are using now, so this would be a big step up in size for us.

Thanks

That'll do it. Thanks for the update. I think under post options, you will have an option to mark this solved. That will be helpful to anyone searching this topic in the future.

Let's rule out the basics.

You were plugged into shore power, weren't you? 
The breaker was on in the power panel?
The thermostat was showing that you had power to it?

That is enough to start.

Indeed, at some time they will have to call it a "heavyweight."  Some friends of ours sold their home, purchased a 48 foot 5th wheel that had 6 slides, triple (3) axles and a empty weight of 19,500 lbs!  He could not tow that with your average SUV; he had a 1 ton with the Duramax motor.  I guess that is big enough.  Big enough travel trailer.  Big enough truck. 
I met a guy last year pulling a rig like that. Gross weight of the entire rig (trailer plus the 1-ton pulling it) was just under 30,000 lbs. He told me he was required to get a commercial license to operate a rig that big.
