In a month or two nobody will remember this thread or the issue the OP had with his dealer and manufacturer. People will continue to purchase campers based on price, floor plan, size, slides, interior amenities, tank sizes, etc. They will have long forgotten this minor door issue. If the OP is looking to hurt future sales it will not happen.
That's because it's not really a big issue. It's just been blown out of proportion, not unlike a lot of things now with social media where everyone has access to everything at their fingertips.
Agree, the dealer should have warrantied/handled the situation better, but IMO a post like this should have been more of a warning that there's a little issue to save someone else the hassle. Even if I remember this episode it would have no bearing on my decision to buy this brand. Only because I see it as a very minor issue.
I could say "buyer beware Arctic fox. Smashes your truck bed!" Because my camper has dented the bed bottom and tailgate due to its weight and the rubber bumpers on the front aren't sufficient to hold the camper off the front of the bed when it works its way forward a bit in rough travels. Instead, I just threw a board across the front to keep the camper where I want it.
I hope someday to have enough free time to be able to get worked up about something like this..........
