It's unfortunate that it appears so many RV dealers and mfgs are like this and so many buyers are not aware of this and think buying new = good warranty coverage like buying a car.
IDK why the industry "appears" to be sleazy-er than others, but it appears that way and this is a good warning for unsuspecting new RV buyers that their expectations, even if realistic, may not be met.
To the bad dealers and cheapo mfgs, F you and hope you're the first to go out of business during the next economic slowdown!
To RV owners in this situation, and not all people are wired like this, but whether it's a RV or a defective toaster, you NEED to be an A hole sometimes and stick up for yourself.
But to make you feel better, GM too 8 weeks and 3 attempts to fix the transmission in my work truck, under warranty. I feel it would have been even longer if I hadn't insisted on a loaner truck when I took it in. They asked me to return the truck several times when mine was still not done and told them not until mine was done. They even swapped me with another new truck because I called them and told them their loaner was due for an oil change, when should I bring it by. Then they learned I put 7k miles on that one and ended up with another 3k on the loaner. Bummer for them, I was on the road alot those 2 months.
