Sorry your purchase wasn't what you expected, but I don't see the issue here. Your post title, as a 5 day member of the forum, suggested that that the thing self destructed. A blind fell down. Guess what, over the years, other blinds will fall down.....it just happens.
A fender flare is flapping, did you look to see why, maybe a screw was left out/fell out.
The sofa pulled away.....did it pull away 10" or a 1/4"? Tighten it up.
I understand you wanted it to be perfect, but you could have fixed your issues in less time than it took you to write and submit this post. Ten minutes with a screwdriver and you would be sitting at home and thrilled with your new purchase rather than agonizing over a loose part.
Take a few minutes, fix what's broken and then take those tools and put them in a toolbox in the trailer storage. You'll need them later, that's just the life of owning an RV.
Not trying to be harsh, but your trailer certainly isn't a piece of junk, just a new product with a few simple things that need repair. Look it over thoroughly, tighten/fix what you can and save anything major for the dealer.
I realize and understand that everything I listed I can probably fix, but the point is I shouldn't have to, no one should by something brand new and go home with intentions of fixing issues. As to the couch, no amount of tightening will do anything, the bracket will need to be removed and some sort of anchor will need to be put in. As to the fender flare, there is zero reinforcement. It's held on with two tiny screws and moves back and forth a good 6"-8". Maybe a part was missed when the installed or maybe it's designed this way, I don't know though. Either way if it's left like this it will rip off eventually.
I'm sorry if my tittle is mis-leading. I admit, I was a bit upset when I made this post, and sure I may have jumped the gun by posting a thread about such minor issues but isn't this what a forum is for? I have a lot of time in forums with my other hobbies and always find them a great place to talk/vent/discuss everything and anything related to that particular forum.
