1. Am a right to be concerned that if they fix this problem, it could surface elsewhere? If not in a years time, perhaps in 2 or 3 years when it's out of warranty?

3) The rash on your siding should be relatively close to the source of the problem. If they remove some siding and identify/fix the source of the problem, I'd feel confident in your camper.
