One thing I've learned about RVing - using my Airstream full-time during the first year allows me to work out all the little bugs under warranty. Today, the Bay Area Airstream dealer replaced my shore power cord under warranty; these cords are about $130 each so not insignificant! Somehow, an arc melted the cord end (female) that connects to the Airstream; while the cord still worked, I was concerned about safety. Airstream replaced for free. Other items fixed promptly under warranty include small items like the shower door gasket (fell off), sliding door knobs (fell off), and leak under sink. Although these are all small items, they've provided multiple occasions for Airstream to demonstrate their commitment to warranty coverage; I'm impressed.
Lesson learned - if you purchase a new RV, use it as much as possible during the warranty period to work out all the bugs.
