We had a very similar experience with the purchase of a 2023 Stealth Nomad. It was "thoroughly" checked by the dealer in Illinois and shipped to us in Texas. When it arrived - wow. There was a leak in the front door and the door wall was warped, the 30AMP fitting popped sidewise because they'd missed the stud, the shower fan was detached on one side and hanging down, the Jack bed wouldn't lay flat becuase the frame was warped, there was a ripple in the diamond floor where it hadn't been glued, the E-track screw heads were snapped off because they'd been over torqued, there was a paint stain on the floor, and last but not least, they'd welded stabilizer jacks in the back that were too long and couldn't be extended. We placed a claim immediately and were told they were "working on it" but it's been a year now and we keep getting promises, but no action. The design itself is great but the quality is horrible. This was just our experience, however, but I'd think carefully about buying anything from this company.

Personally' I would never purchase any RV I had seen and checked out in person. It's really hard to believe that all those problems cropped up during shipment. As always, it "Buyer Beware!".

The issues didn't pop up during shipping. The dealer neglected to disclose them. They provided me photos and a video but conveniently didn't show or disclose any of the manufacturing defects. They later confided that they'd had numerous quality issues and warranty work for customers completed through Stealth, to which I asked why they hadn't disclosed that to me, prior to my purchase?! I guess having twenty+ trailers sitting on your lot tends to cloud your integrity.

You would have to check with your lawyer on this issue. Legal advice cannot be giver here. Sorry!
