Lemon Law Advice

How about get it working and make it someone else's problem?
If you're upside down or the financial hit is too much then disregard.

If this is a common issue then there's someone who's figured it out, research that.
Again, don't have any info on the problem but it's a camper slide out. Only a limited number of parts that affect its operation.

Any advice

To your question: Many people have had problems with the Lance 1172 slide out. . .mostly just one of the slides.
You should check with the Lance Owner of America website forum where that complaint is not uncommon.

Advice? Many small law firms will provide limited free advice over the phone just to see if you have a case.
Another thought; does your state require that you camper have registration through the department of motor vehicles? If so, you might have a case.

"I bet Lance (and every other RV builder has scores of pending judgements they ignore."

Sidecar...then you levy on one of their new units using a collection law firm and the Sherriff.

Can you give a little more info? What conversations have you had directly with Lance? How many times has it been fixed and by who? What problem has been diagnosed? What was the remedy and did it fail the same way again? How many times?

I have never owned a Lance but I haven't heard too many bad things about the way the do business over the years. People seem pretty happy in general.

You'd be better off in small claims court, there are no appeals. Find out who the CEO is and personally subpoena him.

Problem with small claims court is even if you get a judgement, exercising on that judgemt is slim to none without a paid legal mouthpiece.

It might make you feel better but thats about it.

My suggestion would be to dispose of it and buy something else and spin the wheel of chance again, or live with the issue and move on.

I don't think any state allows lemon law on non moterized. Could be wrong though. My advice would be to take it to a competent repair center.

I believe you are 100% correct.

There is a truck camper forum where this should of probably been posted.
You did not research to find this out, so you would be best off having someone who will do the work correctly do the job for you. So my advice is to hire a lawyer who will do the work.

You are a newer member as well who's just a bit trite in your response.

To the OP, I personally wouldn't flush the money to pursue lemon law. Can't say because I don't know the whole history or reasons why it doesn't work right, but that could be a long costly road. Hard to know if you got qualified repairers that couldn't fix it or if it's not fixable (like slid or opening is built out of square or something like that).

Either way, I'm certain it's frustrating and wish you luck in getting it fixed.

I agree with James but not only the CEO....service manager, salesman/woman, and tech who last worked on issue. Prove up the five visits and warranty with paperwork (originals for judge & copies for everyone) and have two repair estimates that detail the problem.

Don't expect to get competent legal advice on a public forum. Hire a lawyer if you're serious about pursuing your complaint.
