"Teething issues" are part of the price of admission for RV ownership. Doesn't matter who built it or how much you pay, there will be problems to iron out on any new RV. Things missing, not working, leaking, etc.. All perfectly normal. Complaining is a waste of energy and only serves to make you miserable and shorten your lifespan. The RV industry is not going to change because there is no incentive for them to change. As long as people keep buying junk, they will continue to produce junk. If you want to live the RV lifestyle, you are just going to have to deal with the problems. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. It does get better.
No to minimize your frustration or problems, but you need to be fair here. Your issues and concerns should stand on their own merits. Exaggerating and misplacing blame does not help your case. You did not "drive off the lot with the check engine light on." The light came on on your trip home.
The RV dealer services the RV. The chassis manufacturer dealer services the chassis. Your experiences with the Mercedes dealerships have nothing to do with the RV manufacturer or the RV dealer. That's Mercedes life. You buy Mercedes to show off to people how much money you have, not for reliability or good service.
The inverter/appliance problems were self-inflicted. You're rolling down the road with the AC cranked, every light on, every appliance running... The RV's electrical system is not designed for that. Unless you are plugged in at the campsite, you have to limit what you turn on, because you have limited capacity in the inverter.
