2010 Forest River Surveyor help

Hey guys, need some help or rather advice. I bought a 2010 Forest River Surveyor. It was advertised as "Completely remodeled". When I viewed the camper it looked great. The only thing they pointed out was that the kitchen faucet they noticed has a small leak (which I replaced). It was towed approximately 25 miles to its now resting spot for the time being. After just one tow and getting it set up, things are becoming noticeable......like the floor. Yes, the tile is new, but it's separating from the trim and separating itself (peel and stick tile). Also, the new backsplash that she put up was a cover up to water damaged walls. Found this because I saw a piece peeling at the corner in the corner by the stove .....when I pulled it off, I was "extremely" surprised by what I found. Of course that led me to look beyond that....same in the bathroom by the bathroom sink.....so everything damaged was covered up with new and could not be seen. My question is........I know that being its a used camper we get what we get, but she advertised as "completely remodeled. What falls under that category.......she did not list on the advertisement, just simply said completely remodeled. Do things like your appliances, gas lines, water lines, electric etc. fall under this? I had a licensed RV tech come and look at it to inspect and yes, they put new "flooring", but over damaged floor and the support brackets are missing.......COMPLETELY........am I just SOL or do I have a leg to stand on...She told me she spent thousands on the camper getting it fixed, but yet she will not tell me "what" was repaired nor provide receipts.....I have kept everything she has and has not told me when asked in writing and documented everything (just in case I have a case) but if anyone has been through this, your input would be greatly appreciated!

You bought from a private seller, unless they put it in writing about a warranty, you purchased "AS IS".

By showing you a leaking faucet, they guided you toward "if they are telling me about the bad faucet, then they did a good, remodel job" view. Redirecting your attention from other things to that one bad stand out item.

Good luck, you have a water damage rig on your hands, and it will cost $1000 of dollars to fix.

Thousands of dollars to fix it. Thousands of dollars to litigate it.

Did you contact the seller and ask to return for a refund?
