[A/S] New Airstream Question



Greetings!

I believe there have been several people with 'quality control' 
issues with their new A/S.  We have a 2005 Bambi.... used just a few 
times last year.  There have been a couple of things we thought we 
shouldn't have to repair/fix, but since the dealer is 3+ hrs away we 
took take of them.

My question has to do with the vinyl flooring.  Today [since it felt 
like spring here in Maine] Dave was cleaning the Bambi and vacuumed 
inside.  He discovered that the flooring was not glued down.  It kept 
raising a bit as he vacuumed [he was using a powerful shop vac as he 
was doing the cars].  Did A/S do this so it would be easy to 
replace?  or should it actually have been glued?  It doesn't appear 
to present a problem as the molding around the edges hold the vinyl in place.

We also had the vinyl come off in the bathroom by the 'head'.   But 
we took care of that with contact cement.  Seems to be fine.
