The welds are not bad for "normal" welding, but in the case of this design with the flanges already being cut-down very little flat area is left for the Velstick. Given the constraints around the installation in the Mantis a through-wall unit would have been a superior choice as these are designed to have only a small portion or just the rear of the nit exposed to the outside. While this is relatively easy to address (we keep extra rivets and a manual rivet gun in our trailer tool kit) it honestly shouldn't be happening on a regular basis. Flexible space to roam. In my case: First we developed a small drip from the roof opening corner nearest the entry door. (I couldnt believe he was openly bragging about this)I got this same story in varying degrees from multiple dealers salespeople. Then the water apparently became trapped inside the roof gasket ran to the rear, pooling up before dripping into the rear fabric panel - it was like a bladder full of water! POST "Water Infiltration Retrofit Kit" installation: Result of first visit to install the retrofit kit (6 weeks): Replacement roof gasket installation incorrect - The dealer replaced the roof gasket but did not have detailed instruction for how to position it, which resulted in the gasket being installed in exactly the same place with the same interference/overlap that existed previously. Honestly, with most trucks having on-board brake controller these days, we would suggest just removing this from the trailer. The downside was that Taxa neglected to provide any instructions and forgot to include the silicone sealant that was needed. Every TAXA product is made with proven, durable materials that last. We even keep the refrigerator running 24/7 now. The corners had welds on them which were bulky and left very little flat area for the trimmed-down Velstick to adhere.

Overall, the problems are starting to add up and while Taxa is addressing the problems that have already been identified, our warranty has expired so the question is what will happen next? Battery Installation - My dealer, a major RV dealer, installed mismatched batteries in the trailer, and wired them improperly. This depends on how much leveling is needed. The clock is ticking for Taxa to address these issues. They said that they had to be involved or it would void the structural warranty, something we didn't want to happen. This came from the new attachment plates that Taxa used on the canvas repair. As a consequence of having the change the rivets multiple times there are scratches on the interior finish and round scratches around the rivet holes where the peel-rivets spun while being removed.

We also wash dishes outside in the wash basins we have. I'm concerned about my trailer being torn apart yet again (and out of commission for 6 weeks) and the risk of experiencing more damage. Rivets not labeled - further incorrect installation - three different kinds of rivets were sent, but they weren't labeled and their purpose not called out.
