I finally addressed my shakedown punch list today.
Installed new faucet in the bathroom sink.
Replaced cracked toilet valve that was leaking.
Last but not least the Macerator. I have used it exactly once. The "technician" that ran the wiring must have never wired up anything more complicated than a light switch. The wire ran bare through several rub points. There was at least an attempt to run the wire so it wasn't hanging but zip tying unprotected wiring along metal framing does not bode well for longevity. The wire run was too short (connection failed at a butt splice) To top it off the feed was across one of the two 6V batteries instead of across both, so there was 6V at the input to the macerator. It is amazing it ever ran at all. So after paying to have the work done, I got to spend the day running new wire, properly restrained and loomed, and installing a new macerator. It works properly now. I wish I could post pictures of the shoddy splices and poor workmanship. I am going to learn everything I can about maintaining and repairing this coach because you just can't find anyone that cares about the quality of their work.
