You can turn the standby LED light off at the bottom of your TCL TV by going into your TV menu settings. love your channel. Hope you get everything fixed.
Yes, it would bother me.When we bought our camper I noticed all the little mistakes that were there I called the guy from where we bought the camper and they fixed them For sure get them to fix it you paid for it so yes fix it dudes.❤
I guess we are the luckiest campers ever. We have a Class C Lazy Daze motorhome that was built and purchased by us in 2001. It’s still going strong 22 years later, with zero issues, then or now. This is our first and only RV.
I’ve had a couple of weird issues with my black/grey tanks. First it wouldn’t dump, then next time it dumped with the valve closed, leaking sewage out. I took it in twice, they tested it all, couldn’t replicate my issues. I need to get back out and test everything before we camp again soon. We also added the backup camera and it supposed to be pre wired for it, but the plug was never installed. The RV dealer fixed it for me. One other minor fluke issue that almost certainly nobody would catch, even with inspection. When we plugged the phone into the USB port in the kitchen, the lights would flash on the stove knobs. It was a grounding issue, fixed right away. No leaks, all water and drains work, etc. Now if I can just get this back/fibromyalgia pain to subside, then I could enjoy camping again. Thanks for your videos
Sorry about your back issues. That is weird with the tank dumps. Do you have manual or electric dumps? As far as the backup camera, we aren't using that since I installed the Ford backup camera which has its own wiring. My understanding though is that they just run a wire for power but it doesn't have a specific connector that way you can use any aftermarket backup camera you want.
@2Krazycampers, thanks for the reply. You guys are a great couple, your wife is a hoot, and has the nicest smile. I have since checked out my black and grey tank issues and they seem to be fine now. Now if I can get the perfect combination of equalizer hitch tension and/or airbag pressure, to get my tow experience better. We want to go more, but I really need to dial it in. We’re going again in the near future, so will be adjusting along the way and hoping to hit the sweet spot. So many others are towing trailers longer and heavier with their Tundras with no problem. I can’t say the same even with a lighter/shorter trailer. I really enjoy your adventures and videos. Hope you can Krazy camp for a long time.
Y'all did it the right way. Pick it up from the manufacturer, go camping, then return it to them for repairs. We bought our RLS30 from a dealer, went camping for 5 days. The water heater didn't work on electricity, the shower Flooded the bathroom, the plumbing from the shower flooded the basement area and the black tank was cracked. Took it back to the dealer and we got it back 3 months later, haven't used it yet.
After owning 12 RVs over forty five years, You can not be too picky If some problem is really serious, that is different. You all know this We like you both. !
I think it is very common to see the plastic walls in the shower where they don’t put enough plastic rivets in the walls? We looked at and actually purchased an open range 20 FBS, There were so many obvious faults when we did a walkthrough, that we declined to accept it. I wanted that camper because of length, weight, price, but didn’t want to start off with that many issues. We figured if it was that much OBVIOUSLY WRONG, how many quality issues were there we couldn’t see? We’ve had a few minor hiccups with our Jayco, but A& L rv in Richmond was phenomenal in getting authorized to repair, parts received in a week or less, repairs in a week or less. One repair was a new slide seal and adjustments to make the slide close properly. Excellent videos, enjoy your channel.
Good video! Food for thought! Put a silicone door stopper where the door handle would bump into the wall really surprised that the vent doesn't have a cover. I personally hope you show them the little things & maybe they will make adjustments in the future. !
Love your new camper! Could you put another one of those mirror tiles on the bathroom door so he could peek out at it to shave since he can't see the mirror from the shower - just a thought? I'm going to order the mirror tiles/command stripsto put on the bathroom wall of my small camper since the camper has no mirror at all! Great help - thanks for the links!
After five RV’s when are GD Reflection hit the lot, our sales rep called us to come inspect it before we signed the next day. My wife brought her own blue tape 😂. Luckily like yours there were just a few issues that most new RVers wouldn’t notice. Our sales person knows how picky we are and notice everything like you two. Love seeing your Alliance process, because in a few years we will be trading our 2021 Imagine TT and 2022 Reflection FW and may go with Alliance this time.
I had a problem in my linen closet where the bathroom door made a hold by slamming into the wall. I got a disc on amazon and glued it on the hole so my door hits the disc instead of the wall. I also put sliders on all my furniture so I can slide it around as much as I want. Buying a new home is a challenge. Luckily I had a 2 year warranty so they fixed all my problems and trust me there were a lot!
We had a maxair în our old bathroom and honestly, we never used all the features. The bathroom vent fan is just to get rid of the steam from shower (and smells for going to bathroom). Personally, I don't think you need a powerful fan in there. If it was a fan in the living space or bedroom (in place of an AC) I think a MaxAir is a must
@@2KrazyKampers Well, we boondock almost exclusively. While we can run the ac for quite a few hours on solar and battery, the maxair is great at keeping the camper cool as it sucks air from the bedroom windows.
I keep a collapsible stool in the bathroom to use to reach the push button o the exhaust fan. Short struggles! At least I can see my whole upper body in the mirror. Last camper could omly see my forehead and up.
I think they all need a max air or equivalent exhaust fan. We bought a Jayco 263 RBS and per Josh the rv Nerd, it had a DOLLAR STORE FART FAN, LOL. I replaced our cheap fan right away and love the vents that can be opened in the rain. Honestly, I think each large camper needs 2 vent fans, that may be sufficient for moderate weather, especially if you were not on shore power, you could still be cool enough and not have to run the AC off batteries. I know they have to draw the line on cost, but the cheap fan was worthless.
In our old RV, which was a Grand Design, they had the cheap "fart fans" in the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. We replaced the bedroom and bathroom with Max Air fans. In this RV, we have two AC's so there is no place to put another fan. Personally, I would not want another hole in the ceiling for the fan. We may eventually upgrade the bathroom fan. but I doubt it will be a Max Air since it's a small space and the bathroom door is always closed. So far, the one in there is doing a great job . It just needed the vent cover so we can have it open in the rain.
@@2KrazyKampers thank you so much. I always dislike not being able to see my whole self before I go somewhere. So, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw these in your video last night. I knew I had to have them! 😄
Hmmm. Those drawers in the closet don't look like they could pull out, which to me is a design flaw. If it's that deep, they need to be able to be pulled out.
From everything we have learned by talking to Alliance owners and from interviewing the owners of Alliance and other people, it is much better than other manufacturers. They try to go above and beyond, even warranting items when rigs are out of warranty
I have a TCL tv, go into settings and there's a place you can shut off that light at the bottom of the TV. I don't know why they have that light on all the time, it's annoying.
The system of piece work used in production where the employees are judged on how fast they can turn around production leads to so many faults. Piece work performance plus poor engineering just leave too much room for errors to happen. Then the dealers push their techs to using flat rate as weapon makes the perfect recipe for unhappy rv owners. You can’t make this up!
it's not being nit picky...I know the price of these new campers and you paid a pretty penny to not have it already "falling apart" its new, it should not have all these issues.
My question, Did your dealer agree to take it back in for repairs because they know who you are? Or can any non-youtube-famous normie bring their RV back, after a 1st trip shake down, with these kind of issues to be fixed in a timely manner?
I think most of these things are ridiculous. I would have fixed these things before you guys would have even thought about it. I hate the thought of taking my rv to the dealer for anything.
As we said, under normal circumstances, we would have fixed it but we made arrangements with Alliance to bring it back to them while we were in Elkhart.
campers are not like your stick house you pull it down the road and the roads are not perfect. if you can't fix this kid of stuff you have no business owning an rv
All of these issues were corrected by Alliance. We will show the results in an upcoming video
You can turn the standby LED light off at the bottom of your TCL TV by going into your TV menu settings. love your channel. Hope you get everything fixed.

Flooded the bathroom, the plumbing from the shower flooded the basement area and the black tank was cracked. Took it back to the dealer and we got it back 3 months later, haven't used it yet.
It’s also helps when you have a TH-cam channel. Seems most get better service and RV spots at campgrounds to review.
You don’t need Dicor to install a vent cover.

Get some white lithium grease for the door hinges. Pull each pin individually, grease it, put back, on to the next one. It’s not messy, holds up well.

Hey Joe, I have a TCL smart TV. You can shut off that light. On mine it's : TV Settings - System - Advanced Settings - LED indicator - OFF
thank you
I 2nd that
Sharp Inspection and great that they fixed everything!🌻

Maxair for the win, I would not have a unit without one, a penny pinched in the wrong spot.

Nice! All pretty minor issues 😊
I have heavy duty black duck tape and I cover all little lights that are on in my trailer at night. I sat in the dark to find ALL lights. Lol
Purchase a Shave Well Shower mirror
Do you have a link for your mirror tiles? I would like to put them in my Delta. Thank you. 😊
Mirrors we used: amzn.to/4a5EQaU
They work great. We drove over 2500 miles over bumpy road and they stayed on. Best part is they are not glass
@@2KrazyKampers thank you so much. I always dislike not being able to see my whole self before I go somewhere. So, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw these in your video last night. I knew I had to have them! 😄
Did I hear you guys correctly? You bought your Alliance Travel trailer through Bish’s RV dealership? Love your videos!
No, we did not buy it from Bish's. Bish's is doing anew program for people who do purchase from them. Check out the video where we went to their store
Guess how much a large tank of propane refills are in Ecuador? $3 DELIVERED!!!
wow
Joe and Rachel search for low profile door handles for your pantry... "Hidden door pulls"
thank you, I ordered one
Could they make the Pantry door open the other way.
it wouldn't open with the slide
Hmmm. Those drawers in the closet don't look like they could pull out, which to me is a design flaw. If it's that deep, they need to be able to be pulled out.
They are shelves. I kinda wish they were sliding drawers
Did they not use 5/8 plywood for the subfloor? A foam sandwich floor will deform under point loads like you pointed out.
The floor is not foam, it is azdel. The deformation was in the laminate itself, not the floor. It bounced back the next day
@@2KrazyKampers So what is the azdel bonded to?
Yeah, what’s it bonded too ???
I have heard good things about alliance and after the sale on customer support and care so how would you rank them compared to other manufacturers ?
From everything we have learned by talking to Alliance owners and from interviewing the owners of Alliance and other people, it is much better than other manufacturers. They try to go above and beyond, even warranting items when rigs are out of warranty
What model do you have?
294rk
I have a TCL tv, go into settings and there's a place you can shut off that light at the bottom of the TV. I don't know why they have that light on all the time, it's annoying.
thank you
Gotta love beta hydroxy butyrate tape (yes, I know you meant VHB)
Fan in bathroom doesn’t have a cover to keep water from falling in while you’re taking a shower ?🤔🤷🤣
Most RV's do not come with a fan rain cover. They cost about $40

We were in the factory on an actual work day and Alliance does not do that with their employees.
At least you did not buy a Grand Design.
it's not being nit picky...I know the price of these new campers and you paid a pretty penny to not have it already "falling apart" its new, it should not have all these issues.

Inspectors would have caught most of these issues
Yeah, shouldn’t been so cheap.

Anyone can.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Customer from hell. All those little things falls under the 6’ under knee rule.

Be picky you spent a lot of money for your rig.
I am curious Joe if your bars stools that made a dent in the floor is because there is no wood in the floor it’s just plastic and foam ??
It was an indentation in the vinyl floor itself, not the subfloor. The indentation did go away
campers are not like your stick house you pull it down the road and the roads are not perfect. if you can't fix this kid of stuff you have no business owning an rv
