If you do something wrong and it's your fault,

Own up to it and do right thing, they closed this down on RV net because it was not political correct or just a bunch of kitty cat's, who knows.
After 5 ½ months after they burned my toybox, they decided to settled the case (30 min before trial was to begin) why do most people or companies have to be forced into doing the right thing instead of saying hey we screwed up let's fix this, let's do the right thing, let's admit guilt and say we screwed up and save everyone some money and be a standup company.
NO, instead it's let's see if we can jerk them around, because we have much deeper pockets then they do, so naturally we can hold out longer then they can, right.

Wow..... how did that happen? Point of origin looks like it was below the bed frame

Exacty, the pinbox started to break away and this is the aftermath of the manufacturer (Lippert Comp.) repair, OOPS.

What was the cause.... electrical? Repair guy smoking? Any more photos? Yikes.

[JRBurn]

I have a ton of photo's, apparently all was good until he started to grind the welds he did and that are when it caught fire; anyway that's what they told me.

JRBurn,

I hope that their settlement was no less than completely buying the unit back plus paying you for all other losses!

Wow, why did they even have to go to court. Seem like a waist of time for them if it is that obvious they did that. Hope thing work out.

(hi Rod !!)

what a drag!
unfortunately, sometimes when lawyers or insurance get involved on both sides, it starts a spiralling chain of events that almost mandates you go right up to the point of a trial, or even into the trial itself.

The lack of communication, the threats, the money involved, ... its one big dance until both sides are backed into the immediate court date.

I was sued for $350,000 on a case that I considered frivilous, but it isn't up to me, its up to a jury of somebodies peers and that is what can make it dangerous. In my case, the day before the trial (when the loser of the case is going to have to pay both side's attornies fees) calmer heads prevailed, I offer the other party a handshake and an apology and an offer to work closer with their firm in the future, they withdraw their flaky case, and we go out for drinks together.

If lawyers on both sides hadn't been hired, we each would have saved a lot of money and we would have gone out for the drinks on our own.
