We've got a 2011 31QBS. All is well and we use it quite a bit each summer. Biggest problem we've had are the two sliding doors not staying latched with the vinyl snap strap while transporting. I've taken to just stowing a folding chair diagonally from the floor at the door jam to the door. That takes care of it. In the 2010 model year, there was a shelf in the front bedroom for a tv but they removed it from our 2011 model year. But the power and antenna connections are still there so I'd like to put a wall mount flat screen there and am trying to find out if anybody knows if the supports for the shelf were left behind the wall.
One note of caution - with the distance of the rear of the trailer from the wheels, there is a lot of tail sweep in turns and bottom drag in dips. Don't start any hard turns with the trailer closer than 5 feet to objects on the side away from the turn. And the rear jacks, well, mine have both been scraped enough so that they now wind down about 15 degrees off vertical.
Hope you enjoy it!
