WE BOUGHT A BRAND NEW JAYCO OCTANE SUPER LITE 273 IN MAY 2016.WE PARKED IT IN OUR DRIVEWAY,AND DECIDED TO SPEND THE NIGHT IN IT BECAUSE THE KIDS WERE EXCITED TO USE IT.ABOUT 7 HRS AFTER SETTING IT UP,THE SAME DAY WE BROUGHT IT HOME,THE FURNACE AND AIR CONDITIONER QUIT WORKING(WE WERE TOLD,AFTER GETTING IT FIXED,THAT A HOSE WASN'T ON CORRECTLY, CAUSING IT TO TRIP A RESET BUTTON).AFTER THAT,WE NOTICED A LOT MORE WAS WRONG WITH THIS TRAILER.THE BED FRAME WAS MADE VERY WRONG,A WATER PUMP HOSE WASN'T ON ALL THE WAY,THE POWER BED SAFETY LOCK WASN'T ENGAGED,THE CAULKING AROUND THE OUTSIDE SPEAKERS WASN'T APPLIED RIGHT,AND THE SINK LEAKED.WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE BOUGHT IT AND THEY FIXED THE ISSUES.MAYBE A MONTH LATER,WE NOTICED MORE WAS WRONG.THE SHOWER NOW LEAKED,THE USB PORTS QUIT WORKING,AND THERE WERE BUBBLES BULGING OUT ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE TRAILER.ALSO WE NOTICED A PART ON THE ROOF HAD CAME UP.AFTER TAKING IT BACK AGAIN,WE WERE TOLD THAT THE METAL SIDING WASN'T INSTALLED CORRECTLY,AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED.ALSO THE PART ON THE ROOF HAD CAME UP BECAUSE THE SCREWS THAT HELD IT DOWN,WERE TIGHTENED WAY TO TIGHT CAUSING THE HEADS TO POP OFF.I'M THANKFUL WE WEREN'T TAKING IT ON OUR TRIP WHEN THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE IT MIGHT HAVE CAUSED PARTS OF THE ROOF TO FLY OFF.WE TRIED TALKING TO JAYCO ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE TRAILER,BUT THEY DIDN'T THINK WE HAD REASON FOR CONCERN.WE TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH SEEMS TO HAVE VERY LITTLE DEALINGS WITH US NOW,
