my guess is that the trailer isn't as "new" as you think it is... :-(
I suspect some form of lighting / cabling holders were pulled out for whatever reason. Its probably "unlucky" that you didn't notice them before you took it away from the dealer... probably because the roller hid things a bit. Nice dealer to not handle this properly.
The dealer took a picture with me and my wife in front of the camper on delivery. I also took pics with the kids throughout our trip. I went back and looked at all the pics, the holes didn't appear until the last day of our trip, after hauling it to storage. I'm heading back to storage in the morning to see if I can get better pics from inside the panel and / or the cabinets.
For those that mentioned being livid, I'm more than that. We paid 28k, in cash. I understand financing or cash you're still spending the money, but those of you that paid cash might understand the difference lol... it's extremely -extremely- disappointing.
The dealer hasn't actually put eyes on it yet so I don't want to say who they are on the offchance they decide to cover it.
Nothing I did could have possibly caused the thing to tear like this from the inside out. When I have more pics in the am I'll gladly share. I'm fine with putting tape over it and sealing it up for now. But the fiber glass has a hole in it. It will be an expensive repair regardless of how shady it's done, fiberglass work isn't cheap, I fully intend to have it look exactly as it did when I purchased it .
