BTW, this may sound rude, but have you considered hiring a lawyer to help you navigate this situation.
You may have been watching too many movies.
Hiring a lawyer to file a lawsuit...better have $10,000 just to get the lawyer to start the ball rolling and another $10,000 -$20,000 to take it before a judge.
Depending on the state it is filed in, each party is responsible for their own legal fees too.
Not true. Rv's fall under the Magnusum Moss Warranty Act. It's a federal law that covers rv's in all 50 states and the attorneys fees are set by law and the manufactors has to pay them and there is no money paid up front to the attorneys. I know. Because I used this law to get rid of our junk redwood.

That is not "filing a lawsuit" then.
I didn't see anything in the act that says you don't have to pay an attorney anything upfront.
Most times, the mfg'ers won't want to go to court, but will settle out of court.
The fact these rv's cost 30-50K up front...if you have to give some money up front to an attorney, to get your rv fixed, than that is the cost of getting started. Otherwise, you can live with your bomb.
Most companies will handle a letter from an attorney much different than an individual complaining to their customer service.
