New RV problems
Recently we purchased a 2015 Keystone Bullet 24RKS travel trailer. The toilet was installed too close to the wall so the toilet lid does not stay up. Very inconvenient! Took trailer in to local Keyst...

That would seriously p*ss me off and I'd want it fixed pronto. Maybe it's driven more by Thor Industries (parent company) policies? KZ was purchased by Thor earlier this year and this is the sort of thing that KZ owners and even dealers are worried about happening. KZ would have fixed that under warranty before it was sold, but who knows in the future now?
I'm not so sure you'd have to install a new tank. Since the tanks are made from ABS, seems to me you might be able to relocate the entry into the tank along with some cutting and patching of the floor. If you can't keep the existing tank, a new tank would be in the $200-300 range. That is, if you can do the work yourself. You'd also need to re&re the underbelly material (which I see Keystone says is ABS).
Maybe a few lawsuits are needed to get manufacturers to smarten up. RVs are purchased from a dealer and if it were me, I'd sue them because you have a contract for sale/purchase with them, not the manufacturer.
What I would do is go to 2 - 3 independent RV repair shops and get a report and estimate to fix it as evidence, even if you have to pay a few $$ for an inspection and report. Then send copies to both the dealer and manufacturer saying that you will get the work done and seek to recover the costs from them. At the very least, I would make sure you send a complaint in writing to the dealer (if you haven't already) so that they can't say they never heard about it. I would also try and find the right person at Keystone to send a report to - someone who is empowered to make decisions.
It's hard to imagine a manufacturer wanting this kind of negative publicity being spread around.
