We bought a SuperNova at the end of last year (October) and so far it is our favorite Motorhome to date, this being our 5th one.
I wanted to list the quality control issues we have had since taking delivery, and other rambling thoughts. We bought from an out of state dealer?they delivered the unit and picked up my 05 Endura as a trade in.
This unit came with every option available at the time for this model.
Plastic air intake trim piece on hood missing.
Bolt for front bumper missing.
Passenger step at gas tank missing lag screw to secure it.
Engine heater plug at driver door does not open. The flap does not clear the step over the gas tank. (not a big deal in Arizona, so no action taken on this item yet)
One leveling jack motor was in-op at delivery, so none of them worked until it was repalced.
Optional power converter in-op at delivery.
DVD player in-op at delivery.
Power awning keeps blowing the 5 amp fuse, still have not figured that one out yet.
The locks on both TV?s are a joke. No matter how tight they are or how you adjust them, a long trip always lets them loose for the TV?s to flap open. A simple arcadia door lock pin from Home Depot, drilled into the cabinet below keeps them where they need to be.
Shower floor had no support at the front, under the drain. Expandable foam in that area helped.
I installed TracVision A 7 for satellite and 2 vent covers. Bathroom fan is the normal cheap loud one in every RV?wish they offerd an upgrade vent in that area like they do the kitchen!
They never put any towel bars or hooks in these things? I installed about a 8 hooks/bars in areas you would think obvious, like the BATHROOM.
Love the shower and faucet, the door is neat but 2 of the plastic rollers at the top keep detaching themselves off the pins.
We love the storage space, every where?.wow!
Built in vacuum under the table bench seat was nice to see, normally something we have to add ourselves.
We towed a 24 foot box trailer recently to Mexico and back and got 6.7 mpg. The trailer weighs about 9000, with 900 tongue weight. I expect gas mileage will improve with a few more miles on the engine. (less than 4000 miles on unit, since it has sat most of the time waiting on repairs, since we got it)
Mine must have the 5.29 gearing, because it seems to cruise along nicely. Won?t go over 75 MPH, as others have stated.
Gulfstream is still my top choice, I just wish they would catch more of these things at the factory.
I would like to see more specific literature for the coach and it?s operations, rather than the standard blue covered pamphlet they put in every RV.
