Didn’t get what I paid for

The slides stopped working, had to pay someone to fix, the shades fell off the wall, the closet door rollers fell off the shower door track leaks, shower head was upside down, bedroom door feel off, vents don’t close during rain & flooded camper, pass through door didn’t lock…& on and on… I think I bought a 80k piece of **** … found broken mounding, loose water & waist connection’s…just one thing after another…

Unfortunately.
Remember the “old days” when the most common complaint was cracking decals.

I am sorry for your issues. Is your unit a 2022? Where is your dealer in all of this. Yes, they leave the factory with some issues, but a good dealer should find and fix these before your PDI. We travel rough roads and things come lose at 65 mph. Our house cost considerably more than our RV. Guess what - we still had a punch list. Not minimizing your pain but most RVers understand there will be maintenance. Definitely your dealer should have found many issues. Best of luck resolving them.

I installed an Earthquake app on a couple of old cell phones. I taped one to the closet floor over the pin box, the other to the floor at the back of the rig.
I don't remember all how good/bad the road was that day but when we got to our stop I checked the phones to see what they recorded.
The rear phone recorded a peak earthquake of 7.0.
The front recorded 8.5.
Can you imagine what your house would look like after going through this?
Day after day, trip after trip?
These really are rolling earthquakes.

Welcome to the MOC and sorry about your monty problems. We've all experienced them. Unfortunately it's a very common issue within the RV industry as a whole. Poor quality control and setting of expectations, but that's what the PDI is for and if you have a good dealership they should take care of all the issues under warranty.

Welcome to the forum!!

What year and model did you purchase? I am sorry for the issues you are having. Had similar ones on my 2014 Montana High Country and finally traded in for a 2020 Montana that has been problem free, except for a sticking black tank valve that was replaced under my extended service plan at no cost and a front cab passenger side stress crack that was repaired by Keystone under their 3 year structural warranty (repair also included the fron cab driver side as a prevenetative measure) at no cost.
