Well, it's your own fault for buying a used, 20yr old trailer. If you'd have purchased a new one, you would have gotten a well built and crafted quality unit that had undergone a rigorous quality control inspection before it ever left the manufacturing line.
Then the dealer would do their inspection to make sure nothing happened during transport.
And of course, your pre-delivery inspection/dealer prep would have found any last minute tidbits, ensuring you received the best quality product in near perfect working condition.
...Uhm...wait. This is the "camper" forum and you do have a new camper? Okay, then scratch all of the above. They just shrink wrap them and figure as soon as they can get someone to pay for them, they will let the customer do the quality inspection and handle it under "warranty" which is cheaper than having an actual QC person at the factory!

But seriously, glad you found the problem(s) before it caused any serious damage. New campers really are a******shoot now a days. Best to put it through its paces sooner rather than later and carry a tool kit most of the first season.
