So here I am serching for help in understanding this nightmare.I purchased my 2017 29' trailer 2 weeks ago shortly after a hail storm I knew the 2 skylights & AC cover needed replaced which the Dealer agreed to do.Here we are 2 weeks later and the Dealer has put a 10k estimate on repairs to a 19k rig and I've never even moved it off the lot.so how will this play out for me?.i put 8k cash down and a check for the remainder 11k

Was this an “as is” purchase? Have you consulted with an attorney experienced with auto/RV issues? Why would OP’s insurance carrier pay for damage sustained prior to purchase?

So fully paid for and storing it for “free” at the dealer, essentially?Bottom line it’s your RV and the damage is not their responsibility. Do you understand that concept or is there more to the story?But, unless the roof is tore up or all the siding is banged up and part of the estimate, there’s a 95% chance the dealer is trying to screw you. Don’t be the victim, go look at it and work through their “estimate” while looking at the “damage”. Just replacing vent and AC covers is literally about 1-2% of their estimate for parts and a couple hours work. So the other $9500+ must mean it’s basically destroyed or they’re full of sh_t. Also don’t forget insurance. That’s what it’s for if it really is damaged and you really did insure it.

A "stop payment" on the check, and demand the remainder be refunded since you never took possession. Good luck on the second part.

A “stop payment” on a check is a crime in some states. “Possession” in my state means access and the ability to move an object. The dealer isn’t preventing OP from hooking up and leaving, is he?
