I've pointed out my own mistake now several times. Yes, this was my first RV. Yes, I'm new at this. Yes, I screwed up by not inspecting it enough. I trusted a reputable manufacturer too much and dove into something I wasn't prepared for. I NEVER expected to come across things I would only see while watching Mike Holmes. The possibility never even crossed my mind.
I learned a lot from this purchase, and hopefully other people will learn something too.
OK, you made a mistake, trusted in a name, and got burned. Big deal. You are certainly not the only person or the first person disappointed with RV quality. Many here believe that 'RV' and 'quality' probably should not be used in the same sentence. You learned something. You need to quit beating yourself up and take it to LaGrande and get it fixed at the factory. I would bypass the dealer and go direct to the factory. So far, Northwood has a good reputation for standing behind their products. Hopefully, you can find that out for yourself. It is time for you to be proactive and move on to the solution not dwell on the problems. If the dealer was intending to fix it that would have already happened. Obviously they want the factory to fix it and that is best for you, too.
I guess I got lucky. I purchased a Pacific Coachworks 30 foot Tango trailer new in 2009 and the only real issue so far has been four new tires. So much for those that say there is stuff wrong with all the manufacturer's RV products! I learned a long time ago in my profession to never say 'always' and never say 'never'. And I am picky! You got unlucky, insist that the factory fix it right.
Maybe your next video will show us the factory fixing the stuff. That would be a fitting conclusion to your issues.
