Rv lemon law

Your fifth wheel is covered under the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. This basically states if the manufacture gives you a written warranty, they must live up to that warranty. If they are unable to correct the defect as stated in the warranty, they have to replace the product or refund the money. Your state's version of the lemon law only applies to motorized RV's under a certain weight. Since the actual warranty and all its legal written provisions is key to lemon law cases, you should consult a lawyer. If you win, the manufacture has to pay all your legal cost.

You are showing a Bighorn in your signature. If that is the rig you are talking about, contact Heartland and tell them you want to use a mobile tech. Heartland is good to agree to that. You will have to pay for the service call, $75-$100 or so. A mobile tech will get it fixed. They are not getting paid by the hour and their rep is on the line. We have used mobile techs quite a few times with no issues.

Lemon laws don't apply to RV's. I think you are screwed. Time to dump it and buy a new one and hope it's not a lemon too. Some are good ones, some are bad.

See a lemon law attorney in North Carolina. Seeking general comments from nationwide RVers won’t assist you.

I think I would be finding a new dealer or contact the manufacturer MYSELF! You must be proactive or they will take you for a ride. If they see you mean to get it fixed one way or the other, the dealer may step up. May not, but what can it hurt?

I know that in our state (Wa.) the Lemon law specifically states that it does NOT cover RV's.

Don't believe such laws exist for rv's...but if anybody knows for fact I'm sure you will hear back. Sadly the rv QC is lacking, and most of us just get what we can done under warranty (big stuff) and the rest we fix ourselves and get on with enjoying the rig. I feel for you, I really do, but sometimes it comes down to the selling/repairing dealer and not how it was constructed that makes mine great and yours a "lemon". I hope you get it fixed.

Here is a 10 second Google lookup of Lemon Laws in general and very generic and sounds more like a standard vehicle, but you'd be better off contacting your individual states vehicle licensing agency or Attorney General to see what your options are in your particular state.

Good luck!
