On first look I thought it was fine.
Check out the review from Nov 7 - sounds like there might be a manufacturing issue or water absorption (thinking the pops are the water being converted to steam).
I bought this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00J0ECR5I/ref=psdc_6066128011_t2_B01N301T3C
I haven't even tried it yet (I'm in the same boat as you brand new and all).
I've heard good things about it, but tonight I'll test it.
Update: When you do the bed rewire (sooner rather than later is highly recommended) it only takes 11 screws (take off the right side panel, bottom panel). Pop off 2 latched connectors and run them through 2 holes (after snipping 3 zip ties). Put the bottom back on and then run them around the right side and reattach. Takes about 10-15 minutes.
