Okay, here is the skinny:

The water heater is a Suburban and is under the bench seat in the dinette. It can only be accessed after removing the seat pads and two screws to remove the plywood seat panel. It would have been nice if they had made it more accessable. (Anything to save $ so they can lower the price to be competitive, I guess.)

It does not have auto-ignition - it must be lit by hand outside the camper. (Another cost savings.)

It does not have a 110v electric water heater element. ($ savings.)

The water pump is under the stove and can only be accessed by removing four screws in the wood panel in the cabinet near the floor. We didn't bother to remove it to see if it had the bypass set up for sucking in RV antifreeze - he can deal with that later, but at least he knows about it.

The funny part is, everytime I tell him what he needs to do or get done, he says, "The dealer never told me anything about that!" His salesman is probably not a camper and figures my brother will learn on his own - he is.

All in all, it is a nice camper with everything they were looking for - based on the limitations of their tow vehicle.

Thanks to DAF for your help!
