Mrs. and Mr. Beerrun, 1st off we’re praying for you Mrs. hope its more on the minor side.
Regarding the trailer, Attitude will take care of it, or send you to someone who will. We ordered 2 identical 5th wheels, so we have personal knowledge. JUST NEED TO STAY ON THIER ASSES. I’d also suggest thinking about something else you might need from Attitude for the unit…😉

Quite a thread. Best wishes to the Mrs. Beerrun. Hope the issue get sorted out quickly.

The trailer looks bitchen. I would carry a spare drum with bearings, its what I do anyway. Trailer drama is just part of the game.

IM not sure what you mean
Like what upgrades if any are you going to do? I am looking at sliding tray for the front storage compartment. As well as under belly storage. Hydraulic leveling. Wifi/Bluetooth thermostat. Propane tank hook up for bbq plus monitoring

I heard horrible things about that system, as it’s electric not hydraulic.

I put that system on my 5th wheel toyhauler and it worked great. You just needed to make sure you stacked leveling blocks 4”-6” high under each jack so the legs weren’t maxed out. Once I started doing that with the lego type blocks zero issues. The trailer moved around a lot less to without the legs extended so far.

Did you fill up the propane? Bleed the air out of the system?

Could be propane, air needs to be bleed in lines (try to turn on stove or oven). If the hot water heater worked for shower, then it is not propane related (Unless you have a propane and/or AC powered water heater). Could be battery issue (heaters drain a battery quickly). One reason I switched from the built in heater to a big buddy (also keeps back of ToyHauler warmer then built in heater).

New trailers equals chasing little things the first few trips. I always tell my buddies, don’t waste your time on warranty. Find out if warranty will cover repairs and get a Mobil guy to try and resolve if you want. Nothing worse then your new trailer sitting in the lot for weeks to get something fixed.

I’ve chased down a few leaks in our vortex. 100% it was lose fittings. The latest one was the toilet leaking. I’m being yelled at by the wife saying the toilet is leaking. Turns out it was just the feed line that is connect to the toilet needed tightening. Always something.

Adequate propane in the tanks?
Did you open the valves on the propane tanks?
Detach the flex line where it enters the heater and bleed the air out.
The electronic ignitor will try a few times and if no gas, it just quits trying.

Try all these systems at home before you go!

my heater/furnace in my new Montana never worked, from day one. Bennetts RV replaced it under warranty onsite. It would never 'ignite'

pull cover and check to make sure it is wired. No ignite sound, could be wire fell off ignition.
sucks chasing these things down on ‘new’ toys. My wife had a interior checklist she would run through before each trip.

It was great, but resulted in long nights the day before we would leave and chasing down parts is a PIA at 7pm. Now I tell her to run her list before noon, or don’t do it. If it breaks while camping we do without something, if it breaks before we leave, I always have to fix it or she does not want to go.

You sound more patient than me. Good luck with everything. I'm still amazed that tire came off. Jesus.

Update. The trailer is back at the manufacturer. The list is long, they are saying two weeks. SMH in disappointment. Where has workmanship pride gone?

It went down the road few years ago when they figured out they can double out put, cut quality to almost nothing and over charge for stuff they normally can barely sale. All this and still got people waiting in line to buy.
