There's a big difference between people who bought new prior to 2018 and after. The shop at the RV parts store where I work has seen a big uptick in late model (<2 years) rigs. We do some warranty work, but do not sell RVs. Mostly they come to us to just get it fixed. Imagine buying a new trailer in March and being told that the dealer can't get to your warranty repairs until September. That's the situation in this part of the world.
We sold 30 air conditioners last summer. Half went to rigs 2-5 years old. One owner of a new fiver came in with a small leak. It was hard to locate so we put the Seal Tech machine on it. They counted 20 separate leaks, mostly around windows.
There's a lot of junk out there. Buying new is no longer a guarantee of problem free RVing, and the wait to get the warranty work could be all summer.
