Does anyone own a McLouis

Hi, we bought a new McLouis Fusion 360 on 4th September this year. We bought it from "The Motorhome Showroom" (Mr Phil Smith) near Warminster. We love it and have already had several trips away and are planning to use it every month all through the year (lockdown permitting). We have had a few annoying niggles with it but that always the case with a brand new vehicle. 1) The bedside reading lights over the rear bed have been installed at the wrong end of the bed, We like to sit up in bed and look at the view not have our backs to the window! We had new lights installed at the correct end. 2) There is a piece of wood screwed to the wall next to the toilet which prevents the seat and lid from staying up. I'm over six foot and have to rotate the loo slightly to use it. This wood covers the power feed to the entry grab handle. I've suggested to McLouis to feed the power from the bottom of the rail so that this piece of wood is unnecessary. 3) The curved wall to the bathroom is a little flimsy and we have found the door jamb has distorted and we couldn't open the bathroom door. This is being fixed under warranty. 4) We have installed two extra mains power sockets in the garage to charge our electric bikes when on hook-up, otherwise its a long extension lead through the van. 5) we have installed a Thule Veloslide bike rack in the garage, one of the main reasons for buying this motorhome. The fit is perfect for the two bikes and makes loading so simple. 6) The table is too low when you sit in the drivers and passenger seats (when rotated) but too high for the bench seat. There is no height adjustment for the table and we have added an extra bench cushion for the seat. 7) if you sit in the front seats of an evening (seats rotated) there is no interior light behind you if you like to read. We are having extra lights installed. Lastly, the engine warning light keeps coming on and it is  the diesel particulate warning light. We've had it reset 4 times. Apparently its a common fault with the Fiat engine!

Any other question come back to me
