Hello out there...i am new to this blog and new to blogging in general. i have had my trailer for almost a year, used three times. on the first time out i discovered the lower dinnette drawer glide frame was broken, second time out the sink fell down- it was only sort of glued onto the underside of the counter. third time out the battery no longer holds a charge. any words of wisdom? do i have a lemon? how can i make lemonade?

Welcome to the forum its a great place to get your questions answered. The dinette and sink are things that happen. The battery is another story. Pull the cables off and load test the battery after you charge it. Batteries can be bad and just because you have a new rig does not mean the battery (dealer installed item) was new.

Welcome to FRF!
You must be new to RV ownership because your list of issues are pretty minor, compared to most.
So, No you don't have a lemon. Unless your list is way longer.
Your battery issues are probably improper care. Are you using the battery disconnect switch correctly?
