Thank you for your responses. This is my first chance to check back, but I actually thought I had no responses because I did check my email, thinking I would be notified.
It sounds like this is normal, but I already have problems and bought this to relax and have fun. I am angry for expecting to be able to pop the dogs in the car and drive to the mountains a few days each week, all summer, while I have repairs done on the house where we now live, to ready it to sell.
I thought there could be problems a few years down the road, like cars after three years, but not a broken air conditioner! I thought something might leak or a cabinet hinge might break. I can see I was wrong, because none of you even seems surprised.
Now, knowing this, why would I expect that another major thing might not work, after the dealer fixes the air conditioner? The inverter, the battery, the sewage...? As a matter of fact, I was told that the battery, running the refrigerator and lights, would last about 3 days, but it only lasted one day. The air conditioner could break again, anytime, anywhere. I would be taking a real chance to expect anything to work as it should. I wonder why this does not happen with new cars. It is hard to imagine someone buying a new car and having the air conditioner break on day one.
I guess I have made a big mistake, but I am glad to find out now. Since it is a 2013 model, maybe I can get half of what I paid. I read somewhere that RVs depreciate by half in the first year. I am very grateful to everyone for being so honest about what to expect. I wish I had asked questions beforehand, but it did not occur to me that this could happen. Live and learn.

I'm sorry but you are over reacting. Calm down, take some deep breaths. It will all work out. New anything, cars, boats, RVs can have issues. Best to camp in it near the dealer for a few days and make your list. They will take care of it.
