The camper has been wonderful! We have been camping for over 40 years: tent->tent trailer->travel trailer->5th wheel->Airstream. Quality is mentioned a lot on the Forum but ALL campers with multiple systems need fix-ups. I think Airstream is just as good or better than other brands. YES, regarding the elbow issue on the Alde, I have been reading with much interest and is on my spring list. I also plan to install an outside battery disconnect and a 4 stage converter. Just waiting for the weather to cooperate...winter storm bearing down on us today (4/13). SHEESH!!
