You are not alone with the recliner problems. Our 2022 camper came with two freestanding recliners by the same company. Looked great and the upholstery is easy to clean. After traveling several miles we found loose large screws in the trailer when we set up camp. We were of course concerned as to where these large screws came from. Thoroughly checked everything on rv and couldn’t find the source. Then we sat down in the recliner and it was very wobbly. Within a short time the same thing happened and the other recliner was wobbly. We had had them less than 6 months. I’m glad these are not in newer trailers. They really do fall apart quickly and too easily. But they look great…just don’t sit in them. My husband is 6’1 and I am 5’2”. Nether of us are heavy so these recliners should have held up for much longer. Glad to know we’re not alone in this. Enjoyed your video. It’s very helpful and informative
We had our 2516s mini lite rockwood and traveled like 4 hrs with our 52 gallons of water to the campsite where there were no water we did it twice and traveled 2 hours twice to another area near a river to camp. We didn’t have any issues with the tanks. Luckily.
So far, very few offer water tank support to hold a full tank of water. You’re talking 400 pounds of liquid sloshing around. I understand but you can probably spend double and get an off road unit for boondocking and off-road use
Bought a 2109S in 2016. Junk! Blew fuse on the slide out first time out. Had to manual the thing back in. The sofa is pleather and is dissolving. The trailer box was loose on the frame. The nuts were not tightened and were very loose. The kitchen storage drawers are crap and will not stay closed. So, have to use hooks and a bungee cord. One of the drawers under the bed fell off the runners. Screws just backed out. The medicine cabinet came off the wall and we found it on the floor in front of the toilet. Amazing that the glass didn't break. The exhaust fan over the stove quit due to a wire coming loose on its own. The plastic screws holding the stove cover broke. The outside rubber molding became brittle and fell off even though the unit stays under a tight shed. The roof was leaking due to big cracks in the sealant. On and on and on.
I have the same unit and it’s been great. Normal up keep. I’ve been wanting to get a newer unit with more room but don’t want to buy a lemon and you hear how rv are made now.
I also have the same unit 2021 Hardly had any problems. I hate that piece of crap radio. and the sound with the radio is confusing and I have never gotten it to workl I do not put water in the Fresh tank. I hate that Damn Step that you have to put back inside befotre you shut the door. You also feel like you are falling down when you come out of the camper, But really the only problem is I have to work on the back of the Frig to get the propane to work on Frig. Oh my lug nuts were so tight when I bought the unit, I would have never gotten them off if I had a flat. I had to fix that. also they use a weird size lug nut ( not 3/4 inch. )
Today, I had a previous version of this video, but found several mistakes. So I deleted it. This video hopefully has less issues. Thanks.
4 or 5?

@@Berrypancakes229 congrats.
I’ve had to repair our 2022 Mini Lite cabinets a few times as well. Where did you read not to travel with a full tank of fresh water? Thanks.
Every manufacturer tells you not to travel with a full tank

thanks for your video. You are good.
We just bought a 2021 Mini Light and the recliners did the exact same thing.
Another high quality RV product?
