So…if it were me, I’d consider the following actions: First, I would speak with the service manager at your RV dealer and ask him if he expects to hear from Thor soon – and get him to set a date by when they action from Thor. It appears from your description your camper is totaled (trashed.) At a minimum, its a SERIOUS HEALTH HAZARD as black mold has certainly taken hold where the water has permeated. Its one of the reasons I advise my clients to STEER CLEAR of THOR and FOREST RIVER products. They have not been able to get through to Thor to discuss repairing the RV. They contacted Thor and was told it was out of warranty, but this was before they found out that the tape was not removed from the seal strip. The rear strip covering the seal between the rear end cap and the roof did not have the seal tape pulled off, so the rear wall is ruined. They sealed the overhead running lights that had been cut too large. They repaired and sealed it, but more leaks. I took it back to the RV dealer and they found 6 busted screws over the cab. While sitting at the Ford dealership for two weeks in the rain, it was full of water again. When the tow truck arrived and lifted the front end, water poured from the overhead in the cab area. I called ford and they had it towed back to the Ford dealer 60 miles away. In December I went to start the RV and it would not start. I found out that the dealer could not make the repair, so I had to take it 60 miles to a Ford Dealer. I got a check engine light the same day I brought it home. I am facing a problem with my 2017 Thor Four Winds Super C. Vest for Men has 42-engineered pockets making it the perfect vest for tech lovers and gadget freaks!

I welcome your thoughts and feedback below. Of course, time will tell, but having a court case like this that favors the consumer – it might just prompt them to “do the right thing” and start raising their standards.Īs RV Travel points out, this court decision may pave the way for other favorable decisions that will (slowly?) turn the tide of lousy construction quality and poor quality control that is widespread (though NOT universal) in the RV industry. To me, this puts RV manufacturers on notice and provides a “work-around” for consumers who live in states with NO lemon laws on RV’s (which is most if not all states.) What I hope it does is encourage the “bad actors” in the industry (and there are MANY) to build a better product. He does caution that a note in the UCC indicates that “time is of the essence.” While under the UCC a customer can indeed revoke the acceptance of defective purchases, it must be done “within a reasonable time” of the discovery of the defect. If you have a “Lemon” RV issue, this approach could be one that might work for you. His reasoning is that state courts often look at precedent even when decided in a different jurisdiction. Steve Lehto, a Michigan attorney who focuses on Lemon Law issues, sees this as great news for RV buyers, and a decision that will likely send RV manufacturers into a tizzy. Incidentally, I name some of the “usual suspects” in my 5th wheel RV Buyers Guide. A potential landmark court case (lawsuit) – could the RV industry be headed for more manufacturers who build a higher quality product? There are, however, larger ramifications to this court caseĪ court in the State of Illinois has now ruled in favor of consumers and against the manufacturer (and presumably the dealer.) This is significant as the court is signaling consumers don’t simply have to “take it” when (the usual suspects) produce a substandard RV camper.
