In the same boat here.. came in this forum to see if we were alone. Our lists are about the same but the black water 2 tank in our Rogue Armored 351A13 has fallen off into the belly pan on top of the kitchen slide tension cables breaking.. plus a leak in the bedroom slide. ready to return it as seems to be falling apart more each day of use and we have had it 3 weeks.. it wasn’t made to travel and it’s not 4 seasons like we were told too. Earliest we can get an appointment for service is 11/2 and that was them squeezing us in.

Lucky that is all you found wrong. You will keep finding things wrong. When I brought mine back for first time had long list. Found most of the hard fixes had poor repairs. I ended up fixing them myself. That was after a month of them having it. Including a roof replacement. I wanted to use it sometime. It takes a lot of man hours to repair things right in my experience they do not spend the time. After 3 years I still have a list of repairs to do, checking them off one at a time.

It’s been the shop over a week and I haven’t heard anything. I did contact forest river and the bank that financed it. My next steps will be contacting my insurance company and will most likely get an attorney to help track all the issues and time to fix them. I am not going to have it in the shop more than I have it and so far it’s been that way.
There are lemon laws even for RV’s.
Thanks for all the support and chat on here. Glad I found this and wish I would have sooner.

Your list is very long, it’s going to take weeks just to figure out and get approved and get replacement parts shipped in.
My friend had a few minor issues, his trailer was in the shop the entire camping season and there was nothing he could do.
I’m sorry to hear about all these issues, good luck !

This is so sadly true.

1. Wait 2 to 3 months to get your RV in because of the service backlog
2. RV dealer orders part
3. Wait 2 to 3 months for warranty approval and parts
4. Repair (maybe) the RV

There goes the camping season

I think a lot of people give up. In essence, there is no warranty. What's really fun is the "can't replicate the problem" routine.

RVs can easily be the price of a new car. Would you put up with your automotive dealer and manufacturer behaving in this way? It's shameful.
