Thumbs up First thoughts on our Amerilite 199-DD

Maiden voyage is complete so wanted to share some observations:

PROS:
* Didn't realize how much I'd love being able to pack fridge before trip, and keep it cooling during the journey. This is a game changer from the old dig it out of the soggy ice chest.
* All the complicated stuff worked nicely: solar, indicator dashboard, fridge auto mode, heater, water pumps
* We managed to get this guy into a tight space in very remote area. I was pushing my luck.

CONS:
* Didn't realize there is such a thing as "short queen" mattress
* Lost a bumper end cap and apparently this is very common. Why not solve the damned problem for us with a little latch or something?
* Under our short queen mattress, the wood doesn't extend the width of the bed. It's about 2" to 3" short. Is this a manufacturing defect?
* The steps aren't aligned correctly. Slightly not parallel to trailer and slightly too far inside

Overall thrilled with the trailer. 2nd trip planned for next week.
