I feel like you can't make this stuff up and I'm at the end of what I can handle.
I've posted extensively about the beginning of my issues with Dutchman here which you can read if you want to kill some time.

BUT, long story short-
I purchased a travel trailer in September of 2015. (it was a 2016 unit) It was in for warranty repairs 9 months out of the 12 I had it. The trailer leaked so severely whenever it rained it was unrepairable and Dutchman gave me a replacement trailer just one year newer. So I received the new 2017 trailer in November of 2016. It went unused for 3 months till I opened it up after our first big rainstorm here in South Florida just to check on it. Found substantial leaking all throughout the trailer. I took photos of everything. I found the largest leak from the front storage compartment where there was literally a one inch gap on the bottom where you can see the service builder didn't finish caulking the underside of the compartment door. So I sealed it with silicone to stop the leaking- so I thought. I found 7 other leaks via windows and doors this day.
I emailed the higher up who I dealt with at Dutchman about this and said I plainly just want my money back with now being the second trailer leaking profusely. Only this time I bought it before the whole front half of the camper floor and wall wasn't damaged as a result of the huge gap in the storage compartment frame.
They of course denied me and I was finally able to get it to the original dealership to perform a Sealtech seal test on the trailer.
THEY FOUND 35 places of leaking on this new trailer!!
No wonder I was dumfounded I couldn't find the leak after I sealed the storage door and one of the windows in the rear.
All in all Dutchman is denying me any warranty repair work and it was quoted at 50 hours at $150 an hour by the dealer to fix the trailer.
They are stating that because I sealed the storage door that they believe it wasn't done properly so they won't make any repairs to the trailer.
I'm flabergasted! So I fixed one or two of the leaks, and they are denying the other 33 leaks were their responsibility.
I have cabinets that are swelling down on the floor as a result of water sitting along the cabinet wall, and the floor up front by the storage compartment is swelling inside the trailer where the water tracked along the wall.
I have no idea what to do. Do I hire another attorney to get Dutchman to fix this second trailer. Or do I take my trailer back and not go through another 4 month deal and a couple thousand dollars of attorney fees.....? I have to cancel yet another camping trip as a result now.
I never knew owning campers could be so bad. And I grew up camping in them.
Dutchman is a horrible, terrible, evil company. I don't know how these people sleep at night.
