2013 Leprechaun water leak problems
My wife and I bought a new 2013 Leprechaun 317SA that we like a lot except we have very bad water leak issue in it. The front cap on our unit, and apparently on a lot of 2013 Leprechauns, was mounted...

I feel SO bad for your situation.
Curious if there's any news on the legal front? I believe you had started that process. I imagine that takes a long time too.
Also, assuming that it may never be 100% (I'm assuming that thought has crossed your mind already), have you given any consideration to selling it after getting it back from the repair? Just from the perspective that it may be at it's best then (i.e., no pooling water). I realize you'd lose money. But would you lose less versus potentially having to sell it in another year with pooling water & no warranty repair. I don't know, just a thought.
You might be too far along for this now. But, especially if there are other leaks, is it a possibility to have Coachmen take it back for reconstructive work in their facility? I have a Forest River Sunseeker & know that's an option for serious problems (which, obviously, you have). Although, just playing devils advocate now, the factory might give you a redo back to factory spec which isn't "right". The dealer seems like they are trying to custom fabricate solutions even though it's taking a long time.
I do think your posts are helping in that somebody somewhere has given the Coachmen brand a second thought (along the lines of you wanting to tell the young couple to run when they were picking up their unit).
As others have said, best of luck as you continue to work through this.
