my Newmar

You went to Georgia 2 years ago. You then waited and took delivery just over a year ago, on a 2017. So, was this unit ordered? Was it in stock? Did you take delivery of the unit in DFW Texas? The reason I ask is, there must be more to the history of your unit. HOW many miles were on it at delivery? MORE than 1200 miles? 1100 miles is the delivery miles from Newmar to DFW. IF more miles, was this unit in Georgia and then transferred to Texas? ALL OEM's send out notifications in the early fall to make sure dealers remember to thoroughly wash and clean the undercarriages/chassis of units that are shipped in the winter months. THAT IS A DEALER RESPONSIBILITY! Even Towables have the same guidelines unless they are shipped on a trailer. DEALERS are responsible, per the OEM, for failure to do this. IF they take pics BEFORE retail delivery or even when the unit arrives from the factory showing rust, they MUST take this up with the OEM immediately, NOT WAIT until it is sold. I will bet your unit set on the lot OR it was a Dealer transfer from a ocean area dealer. IF the dealer had pics prior to your sale, he just shot himself in the foot. The dealer is now responsible for the problem. Doug
