In need of some opinions and the next step

My Wife and are in our 60s and 70s and we decided to purchase a 2019 No Boundaries,  Forest River at Camping World in Fresno, California.  On the first initial tour of the TT It went so fast that there were a few things we missed. So we bought it with a AS IS, No warranty. So we purchased the TT because as far as what they did show us, it was a nice TT and with CampingWorld being a big reputable company we were convinced that the TT couldn't have been but a few hundred to fix, if ever we actually needed to fix whatever we would find down the road or on a quiet, beautiful and relaxing weekend. 

Ok, with that being told. This is where the story goes down hill. I purchased this TT on 1/20/26. While I was getting everything hooked up to tow out of their facility.  I noticed that there were service guys trying to slam shut the door of the TT. So I went over to where they were and asked them what was wrong and they were trying to shut the door and that they couldn't get it shut. So they tried to fix it with some tools and they finally got it to closed (red flag moment)so to make it short. We waited for another 2hrs for them to fix the door. At my wife's approval, for her to be able to get in and out safely.  So we brought it home and parked it on our property. Went to load up for a trip this weekend and .y wife's says, babe there's a hump in the floor as to which I said NNOOOOOO WWWAYYYđŸ€”đŸ€šđŸ˜ĄđŸ„șđŸ„șMIXED EMOJIS. YES we waited 4.5 months to report it and only because I work alot of hours and we barely even stepped into the TT. So this being our first actual time stepping into the TT we never ever noticed that there was indeed a hump in the floor.

This is what I have done so far and would love some truthful suggestions 1. Ive  contacted Camping World in Fresno Ca and still waiting for a call back from the service Depts Supervisor.

2. I've documented all of the previous preexisting damage.

3. In the process of trying to get a Good Sam insurance report to come out to my house and just give me an honest opinion of what I should do going forward

TIA...Kevin Rodrigues

    You don’t “know” what they “knew.” I again suggest you treat this as a learning experience, get the TT fixed and go camping.

        “It was a very quick tour as if he knew there was damage

    What could possibly contaminate a grey water tank? “Contaminates” can be washed out but I’ve only washed out the BLACK tank a couple of times. I do fill both completely before dumping

    Sorry, it’s 7 years old and CW and GS are not reputable. 
    Even if they were, you bought a used camper FAR out of warranty. 
    Be like expecting the car dealer to fix a 7 year old used car that’s out of warranty. It doesn’t happen. For free, anyway. 
    plus you didn’t explain the issue well enough to even begin to discern whether the hump in the floor could be an issue aside from cosmetic.

    didn't you do a PDI when you picked it up, you also should have looke at the inside before you bought it.  so it sounds like you did walk through it when you bought it, and if you did you would have felt the hump then.  part of the biggest problem is when people go to buy rv's they know absolutly nothing about them or what to check, not singling you out, but I wish people would get on the boards and do research BEFOR they buy.  

     

    as for your contract your going to be stuck with it.  this is where I would side with the company, you walked through it, you found the door issue and they fixed it for you (most likly just a sticking latch by the sounds of it) you were happy and took it home.  4.5 months later you try to say there was an existing issue you missed....     you see how that sounds?  

    as for camping world being reputable, I don't think I have ever heard that before..

      YA....OK!!! Let me just forget about the 8500 it will rake to fix it. I've taken this TT back to them 4 times to fix stuff and it wasn't stuff I found either. It was them calling me to return it so that they could fix the door again and replace the gray water tank because supposedly they ran their water from the service department into it and found out it was contaminated.  So they had to have known that there was damage. At with one of those times their servic department had to have known that the damage was there. I am not going to just forget about the AS ISđŸ€ŁđŸ˜‚.According to the research ive done and talking to different RV companies. Their supposedly to disclose that information even if it is an AS IS contract. The travel trailers in California run under the same guidelines as buying a mobile home as to where if something, like the waterheater doesn't work and they don't tell you and it blows up and floods your house then their liable. Especially if its not disclosed in the contract but yet they didn't even disclose it at the time of purchase but knew about it, then their liable for such damage.

    Hindsight is 20/20 but always get an independent inspection when buying any rv, new or used. Quality is awful and defects are common. And some due diligence would have told you that CW is one of the worst dealerships to buy from and get post sale support, let alone them covering anything on an as-is sale. If it were me at this point, I would hire an independent RV inspector to check it out and get a comprehensive list. Good Sam is not objective; they are owned by Camping world. You may find the frame is bent or some other defect that may give you some slight leverage to get them to fix it or buy it back. A lawyer would probably be required. This might be an expensive lesson. Watch some videos from Liz Amazing, you'll see what I mean.
