As LJAZ and others point out, there's a few lemons in any trailer line and you are most likely to see posts regarding those trailers. I bought my 2009 FF189FDS new and have never had a major problem....

I notice that it's been two years since my original post above. The slide leak has never returned so it is possible to fix these things yourself. I'm still cleaning silicone residue off the slide...

Power connections
You're on the right track. I've seen campgrounds where the power box is almost 50' away and directly behind my campsite. Same with the water faucet . I suppose the campground thinks we all plug into...

Matching cabinet doors
I've had good luck calling Cruiser RV directly but they may refer you back to the dealer. Probably not a bad idea since there are so many shades of white.

12v socket
SBB, what do you use the 12v socket for? The fan? Also, is the solar panel permanently mounted on the roof? Where? I'm thinking about a solar panel for my FF.
