hi jerry and welcome to airstream'n
there are already several very very useful threads on issues related to fit/finish, build, appliances and other notiions that fall under the 'quality' umbrella..
here is a link to the 2005 thread, but there are also threads for 03,04,06 to read...

unfortunately a/s has grown to rely more and more on the dealers to 'finish building' the trailers...
so finding a skilled dealer service department has become very important.
yes humans build 'em and yes things happen, but a/s has done such a poor job with quality control that many trailers have pages and days of issues...
your list is tiny....
i had 12 pages of repairs done at the factory in 2 visits....yes 12 pages.
moosetags....
way 2 go!
lots of travel will shake out the bugs better than driveway camping...
do whatever you think is best on the wheel bearing issue but these bearings properly packed the first time can go a long time.
the warrant states that the bearings must be inspected at 6 months. i had 10k miles at 5 month and had the factory do the 'inspection'...
i didn't ask for them to automatically repack them...but 2 do it based on need.
tech said 'they look great, no need to repack yet'...
at 25,000 miles and about 16 months ownership i had the j/c service center do the repack...
and asked the tech how the grease looked...
he said 'well it still looks good but since a year has passed we should repack 'em...
sitting idle is harded on the grease than movement and unless you've submerged the wheels in water they will be fine..,
if you do have 'em repacked ask to watch the tech...so you can 'learn'...
after removal and cleaning the regrease and reinstall should be clean to the point of sterile...
even a little dirt on the new grease or tech's hands...and you are screwed
of course your brakes do need a peek now, too.
cheers
