brand new camper leaks

I have a brand new Vibe camper by Forest River. I took delivery on February 20 and it already has leaks in at least 2 different places. I'm also getting moisture readings under the floor when I check it with a moisture meter. Dealer says they will fix leaks and resulting damage pending warranty approval from Forest River. I'm very disgusted that this brand new camper leaks after I've only had it a few weeks. For those experienced with Forest River warranty process, am I likely to get all this repaired under warranty? Closed up wet wood in a camper is very bad. Thanks for any advice.

This is disapointing. Would it not be better and cheaper to slow down and instill some pride back into the folks on the asembly line? I read about this kind of problem far too much.

Exactly why we got rid of our brand new forest river after one season.

So many issues and re-occurring after fixed that forest river stopped warranty work on it.

Don't have an answer but I sure read about this type of thing all too often. If cars, SUV's, etc. were built like RV's we wouldn't buy them. It's one of several reasons I have for buying used.

Forgot to mention, these are rain leaks, not plumbing leaks.
