Television

Yes it was used.  The new-used descriptor is just, well, a descriptor.  Considering the electronics weren't even used, we were very disappointed that the TV failed so quickly.  The walkthrough was the first time the TV had been used; the tech opened the sealed baggie and inserted the OEM batteries into the brand new remote.  Not really disappointed at FR in this case as we are with Audiovox.

We do have the actual manual. I think it was sfish who started this thread above that needed it. We just wanted to caution against this particular TV model because after some research, we found it to be prone to the exact problem we have.

Originally posted by this_is_nascar What's the issue with the AC?  Mine had to get new fan-blower kit, since it would squeel when on.  Are you having the same issue or is it just not getting cold?

 

The pipe is cracked and the freon has leaked.  The compressor is fine and the fan is strong, but we're trying to find an a/c tech (in the upcoming off season) to weld an input valve and repair the cracked pipe so we can refill the unit.  Apparently, these RV models are prone to pipes cracking and leaking over bumpy roads.  Once there is a leak, the dealers just want to sell you a new unit for $900+ plus labour rather than repair it.  However, the chances are that a brand new unit could just as easily have a pipe crack and leak as you pull out of the lot after the replacement.  During our walkthrough, I noticed that the a/c wasn't getting cold, but was told that it takes a while for it to cool down (the RV type a/c).  It's obviously an outright lie, but back then it was our first RV and we were trusting and naive.
