LD Achilles heel? August 19, 2024, 09:26:38 am Hi all—new owner (2007 23 1/2 TK) on the maiden voyage and first overnight stay. I continue to be amazed by the quality of the build which is why I bought LD in the first place. I am a little surprised by the lack of electrical outlets, but other than that we are truly impressed. My question is about specific things I should watch for and take precautions ahead of time to keep this beauty in the best condition I can. We are experienced RVers and know about checking the roof seams, etc., but, is there anything LD specific of which i should be aware?? Thanks for any and all input.

Extra plugs can be retrofitted as needed.The windows and end caps are the primary sources of rot with the rear wall being the most common area.Larry 1 Likes

We would roll down the windows to communicate and she would be ready to remove any leveling pads. I think she got wet once and I got wet once or twice. As far as the number of outlets, we found that a power strip near the table is helpful, other than that we wouldn't need anymore outlets.
