My wife and i had a similar situation where we felt we were sold a lemon. It was a palamino sabre, or first fw,
We did our pdi, and knew going in it was only a side step from our tt, not really an upgrade, however we had a bunk house for our boy, and it was a fw so we were happy.
We were leaving for a 2 week vacation abot 30 hours after bringing it home. That night after doing a bunch of work we discovered the shower floor was cracked.
Once we traveled, when we got to our first night destination and opend the slide, huge gouge in the floor, light fell from the ceiling, closet wall fell into the cap, basement floor pulled up due to bulging fresh water tank.
Throught the vacation, water leakes in the basement, from sinks, and then finally fridge issues.
Our dealer was diligent in ixing everything, every time, i have no complaints.
This year, we took it out late april, problem free, then didnt use it till june. It wasnt long after getting it home, the fridge wouldnt turn on again, and never came on, so pist off, i canceled the trip.
Ended up just trading, its been about 6 weeks, and regularly check, but its never shown back up on the local market.
If your dealer is reputable as you say, hopefully you'll have everything fixed under warranty. We had bought an edtended, so nothing was an issue and we had to ise it. We bought an extened on our new camper, im way more confident about this unit.
Sorry for your troubles.
