I had my share of problems with a new RV and tried to get the dealer to repair them but after the first experience decided to handle the rest myself. The first problems were the mud guards infront of the rear tires were missing screws and when driving would be pushed into the tire. It ground both of them to dust and filled the genny compartment with black plastic. That repair took 3 visits to fix. The drawer latches broke and would not let the drawer close, the bathroom door will not stay shut when moving and any clothing on hangers will push the closet doors open. The trim under the cab over just in front of the wind-shield came loose on one end, there was no caulk around the kitchen fan vent which let water pour in when raining, the gas tube was crooked which prevented refuelling at anything over a trickle, the tether for the water tank cap was broken (in case you think thats a little thing you cant buy just the tether you have to replace the whole fill assembly), the porch light cover blew off on the drive home and it took 4 mos to get a replacement. They are mostly minor issues and except for the trim issue which I was told would require the cab over floor be removed because its fastened from the inside were easy fixes that should never have happened. I glued the trim back in place with 3M 5200 which is much stronger than their screws.
