Some problems were chassis (Freighliner-Cat) and some were coach (Damon). The judge asked the jury to just focus on one issue - they chose the inoperative gas detector. We lost our case as they had only tried to fix that issue twice.
Mind you that the electrics of this rig had been shorted out numerous times because they could not get the windshield to seal up (hole was cut too big in the fiberglass) and the engine was going through a gallon of antifreeze every 300 miles (not going into the oil and not going onto the ground - so you know it was going out the tailpipe).
BTW - We had the area’s leading Lemon Law Attorney.

I will never again own another motorhome. Period.

I wish you good luck...
So, the lemon law only pertains to safety items?

I didn’t say that. The judge instructed the jury to pick just one thing from the laundry list of recurrent problems. They picked the easiest thing on the list because our lawyer effed up and had the inoperative gas detector on the suit. It had been addressed twice by the dealer and not resolved. The jury heard the arguments, were instructed by the judge to make their selection and return with a verdict. About 45 minutes later we were called back.
Jury gave their verdict.
Gavel dropped.
We got screwed.
We gave it back to the bank - bank wholesaled it - we ended up paying the bank almost 30k difference between what we owed and what they sold it for.
We got screwed again.

A subsequent VIN search showed that 6 months later the unit was totalled out by a fire.
This was a 150k diesel pusher.

Never again...

Good morning guys.

Nice boat Dave. Almost a ship!

That is a screwing over big time Randy.

I never have had any time for lawyers. They are all crooks.
