Update---RV dealer agreed to pay half

After some tense moments, discussions and maybe a threat to post bad review and report experience to BBB, my sales dealer agreed to pay HALF of $1873. BTW we bought this 2005 FR Lexington 283 MH on March 19, 2020.

Said they ran code before sale on March 19 and it showed faulty fuel system and they killed code but did NOT fix (replace faulty fuel pump) prob, as promised.

So I'm happier and looking forward to receiving their check for $936

This restores my faith in RV dealers, however I will never take my MH back to their shop for Ford E450 Super Duty work......never.

Lexington283,

Great to hear. So they knew about the issue. That must have raised your eyebrows when that tidbit of information came out!

Sounds like the dealer found a problem and took "reasonable" actions to fix it. I dont believe they were obligated to tell a prospective buyer under the "sold as is" clause, used Rvs are normally sold as is and any warranty would be limited unless a service plan can or if is purchased.

Without a warranty, I think it reflects very well on this RV dealer.

My 2 cents

Chris

We tend to emphasize the poor treatment we receive at dealerships on forums like this. It's good to hear about stand-up guys, too.
