I have a 2020 Highland Ridge Ultra Lite 2602RL
Now I did purchase it used, but it was built in March of 2020, originally sold in November of 2020, and I bought it in January of 2022, so the original owner had it for maybe a year.
there are some issues that have seriously annoyed me since my purchase, for a $40,000 rig (new) and the $28,000 I paid used, these things should not be an issue, it is poor quality control and horrible build quality.
I have posted already about the leaks in the plumbing do to the failure of the builders to properly crimp nearly ALL of the pex clamps.
the lights bothered me anyway as they are 6000k and too white, I prefer 3500k-4000k in the more yellow spectrum, especially when I am working on my computer, the white light gives me a headache, plus all the lights are on one switch, kitchen, living area, hallway.
so I went on amazon and found these replacement 4.5" lights that have a selector switch for the color and a on/off switch, so I can turn them off independently of the master switch, this way I only need to have on the lights I want on.
overall, the build quality is just horrible, short cuts, laziness, untrained workers, poor quality parts from third party suppliers, I don't know what, but it is garbage.
I don't know how people justify spending north of $100,000 on Trailers and RV's because from what can tell this is normal across the industry.
I have always wanted a Pusher to live in and travel the country, but after dealing with this, no way I would spend a half million on something that has issues like this.

- Grey and Black Tank Sensors are stuck on full, I have tried all the possible ways of clearing/cleaning them, and they will work for a week or two, then stick on full again.
- The LCI panel will lose its Bluetooth connection to my phone, and then the app will wipe the settings and I will have to re-setup everything in the app, I've had to do this 4 times in 6 months, and it happened again today.
- the "fireplace" LCD display only works if I smack it, otherwise it won't tell me the temp or fan speed,
- the microwave table stopped turning, turns out the gear that turns the table broke, piece of luckily, I was able to order one on amazon and replace it myself, good thing I am a handy kind of guy.
- No several of the ceiling LED lights have started to dim or flicker, when I pulled one down, I discovered it was so damn hot it was leaving burn scars on the ceiling panel it was attached to. and guess why... because the idiot that installed it choose not to use the actual mounting holes in the light to secure it, but rather drill a screw through the metal plate, and on several of them nicked the LED circuit board, apparently causing a short, likely when the trailer moves/vibrates.
