This is a very interesting thread.

Years ago I purchased a new Dodge pickup. This was when Dodge came out with what was, then, a brand new look. I was one of the first in my area to have one, and I loved it.

About 6 weeks later, the dealer called me. An audit had revealed that my truck had been damaged in transit to the dealership. Extensive body work was done. The report said the vehicle had rolled over (while loading or unloading on the carrier, presumably). Thing is, I could not find any sign on that truck of any damage. The body work was that good.

Dealer said, by law, they needed to take the truck back and give me a replacement. I wanted to keep it anyway but they were very, very insistent.

Worked out for me - got a new identical truck, with new miles (mine already had about 2k on it from me driving it) and I talked them into giving me a free b3d liner for my inconvenience.

Purpose of my bringing this up is, if your RV was damaged and repaired, it’s apparently a very big legal issue to sell it as new to you.

In Arizona, at least, RVs are considered the same as any motor vehicle for purposes of registration fees/plates, Insurance required, etc. So I think you may have some real muscle behind any legal actions you take or threaten to take.
