It looks like it is in the hands of customer service or the lawyers by now. You could send a private massage to the poster who started the thread.

Unfortunately, I was not able to post a response to that thread, but I am (attempting) to post some additional recommendations should you find yourself in similar circumstances.

I am not a lawyer and do not play one on TV, but I am a Forensic Scientist, and have been around the court system, civil & criminal, multi-state & Federal, including cases that were affirmed by Appellate Courts.

My first words to you are STOP". Find an attorney that specializes in "Lemon Law" cases, or find a medium size law firm with a top Martindale Hubbell rating and speak with one of the litigators. Apparently you are already out ~36,000+ and have gotten nowhere yet, so something is missing. Until you have discussed the case with an attorney (in some states attorneys are Board Certified, if you live in one of those states, take advantage of this if you can). Get together all of your documentation, organize it, tab it, and if you can scan it into your computer and save, then cut a copy of it on a DVD. Attorneys have little but their time and skills to provide to a client and the better prepared you are, the less of the former you will be billed for in the consultation visit. Additionally, if you organize it this way yourself, you will become even more familiar with it, and remember some things that did not come to mind immediately. The, break down and spend the extra $500.00 to $1,500.00 in attorney's but don't waste your money by not doing as they suggest. If you don't trust his advice, you need to see a different attorney for a second opinion. Then, when you are satisfied with the quality of the legal advice (not I said quality, not did he/she say what you wanted to hear), do as you were advised by counsel to do, otherwise you have truly wasted more money. He may recommend that you allow him to bring a specialist on board, no I do not do consumer law as a rule, nor do I have the specialized expertise that you will need for this, but I am sure he can find someone who does. It sounds like there may be some issues other than the engine air system for your engine that are not addressed when an engine is replaced, e.g. fuel or fuel system contamination. etc. Also, may I ask why you did not bring the RV manufacturer into the issue earlier, along with the engine manufacturer? The engine is only a component of the RV as a system in its entirety and should be viewed as such. By isolating the problem and selecting a single source of liability when there are manufacturers, shops, etc., each of which may have contributed to your issues. you may have forfeited your rights as far as their liability is concerned but I have no specific knowledge in that area, it is simply something to discuss with the counsel you select. Again, this is not legal advice, nor is it intended to create a fiduciary or other relationship between the parties. It is given gratuitously by an individual who acknowledges that he has not special expertise in the field, nor any specific training or or collateral sources of information other than those available to members of the general public.
