I am not trying to convince someone in the US who does not have a clue why there was pressure by consumers for a Lemon RV law in Australia As the US has NO Lemon laws covering RV's
As a result buyers give Chinese sourced parts and RV's a wide berth. As the new laws states it is trying prevent injuries from faulty imported parts and RV's
As well buyers do not want ugly surprises as this new US Travel Trailers has, as it is not fit for purpose .Going by his comments he is not going to get much satisfaction from the dealer or manufacturer
Disastrous US Travel Trailer

The stuff shown in that video could be fixed with a handful of wood screws and a bottle of glue. Something like that won't fall under a lemon law, which generally requires the existence of major problems that the dealer or factory cannot or will not repair.

Different attitude to what would fall under a lemon law. The trailer as shown in the video would here . Would you be happy with that if it was a new Pickup or Car?

In order to qualify as a lemon under most state laws here, the car must (1) have a substantial defect covered by the warranty that occurred within a certain period of time or number of miles after you bought the car, and (2) not be fixed after a reasonable number of repair attempts.

Under most laws, three attempts to repair the defect are allowed before the manufacturer is required to offer a replacement or refund.

I seriously doubt that the Jayco in that YouTube vid would fall under any lemon law, unless perhaps the dealer proved unable to perform basic repairs.
