Lemon laws vary by state. Use the search feature.

Can't take advantage of something that doesn't exist. Most states do not have a lemon law for RVs like they do for automobiles.

There is the Magnuson Moss Warranty-Federal Trade Commission Improvements Act but that requires courts and lawyers in most cases.

No wonder why RV manufacturers keep putting out such a lousy product, and halfheartedly trying to fix the few issues reported under warranty.

sometimes it is easier to fix it ourselves than dealing with long repair delays that don't really solve the problems.

Magnuson Moss Warranty Act applies but most folk rather complain than do what is required for communication with the manufacturer.

Probably the only thing you can do is get the manufacturer to fix it or an independent to fix it or do it yourself.The dealers will not, cannot repair anything after the sale. All they want to do is sell.
It took me almost a year and a half to get most of my warranty work done and repaired the rest myself. Have it for sale while you're trying to repair it cuz it will continue to break constantly. I have a contract on mine now and I'm still fixing it.

I don't know how this would apply to an RV. I won't bore you with the details. A car dealer did something that I hated and was wrong for them to do to my brand new car so I told them if they didn't make it right I will drop the car off in their lot, give them the keys and call the bank and tell them I returned it and will no longer be paying the payments. The dealer made it right. Hope this helps. K.

I did some thorough research based on the op's provided information.
Kansas Lemon Law does not apply to the neck of the toilet being too small.

Someone did that with the 7hr showing used bennington pontoon I bought for 1/3rd price,of new. Dropped it off, threatened, and a year later I bought it for less than the drivetrain cost. The drop off person paid the other $100,000 through garnishment and eventually cash. They were given credit for my purchase price minus fees and storage and transport.

You're lucky the dealer didn't charge you storage and then auction off your car.
We sold or boughht DOZENS of these when I was in the business. We got,the car cheap, the dropper-offer got the repossession and all the associated traumas/dramas.
If you, for the slightest moment, think this action is anything but a windfall for the dealer and a repo for the drop-artist, thimk again.
Anomalies apply, as does real life. 1 does not negate 1,000's.

Please, everyone reconsider.
