Adventurer Camper 2012 Black Mold -need advice ??
Hi everyone..I am new here on forum as well as owing a camper. I need advice and pretty fast,"PLEASE". OK to make this as short as possible, Purchased 2012 Adventurer Camper 86SBS Nov.2013 Salesman said it was only used a few times...it was beautiful!
Sat in it aprox.45 min and never had it out of driveway, only to take back to the dealer several times..
First of all, went to pick up camper and was told they had a problem with front jack, but have fixed it...(was told) " sometimes when campers sit a while, this happens..NO PROBLEM!.."first indication" right? So had to wait a few days to pick it up which was at the end of day..the only time they had available, pick up,5:00 pm. Dark! Excited to get my new camper- I agreed....got home and noticed no tail light on camper..went to unload camper and rear jacks are not working! and remote control is now blowing fuses!
Took camper back..(was told) "happy jack was rusted but they cleaned it up and it is just fine. the fuses were due to pigtail wiring issue when they loaded camper!
So now I get camper back and I'm told camper to heavy for my truck,3/4 ton GMC Sierra HD.. back to dealer,so I am forced to purchase airbags and leaf-springs installed...Now I get camper home, yea!
The next day I am very excited to start adding all my new sheets blankets etc..and "unbelievable"...left corner of roof above bed is leaking rain and showing a blackish" stripe! I open cabinet above bed..OMG ! I pushed on side wall, "soft saturated wall- falls apart which exposed the inner wall..black mold and water, "structural damage for sure"!
Used ladder to investigate and noticed no antenna- leaving an open hole with wires exposed to elements! I then checked radio, NO reception..stuck in CD, speakers are blown!
The extent of mold and water was obvious, this had been going on along time. so back to dealer..
Where I need help...because I have not had a chance to check out camper due to the ongoing problems so far, and the extent of damage now evident..
what would you do, and what would you expect from dealer?
I purchased camper Nov. maybe had it 4 or 5 days..with all the week+ trips back and forth, parts etc.repairs, I was never able to take out of driveway! and further,without my knowledge,(surprise visit) they took front cap off..and now sales mgr. tells me they just need to replace a few pieces of wood on your camper!
I feel that with all the problems it would not be unreasonable to demand my money back or a replacement...I have yet to see either!
I believe because I am a woman and or they really confused my kindness for stupidity!
Your experience and advice is greatly appreciated,
Thank you kindly,
