montana disaster

this was our third weekend only trip and on our second trip we discovered quite a few problems with our montana. well, the trip was even worse. after setting up it was in the 80's and we turned the a/c on. guess what, it runs but no cool air.upon investigating the inside coil was frozen i/3 of the way up and the drain pan was full of compressor oil. turned of a/c and the oil ran all over the roof and down the sides of the fiver. this is only a 4 month old unit. being an a/c mechanic i know the problem but now i want the a/c replaced and probably the roof,as oil will damage the rubber roof. turned on the fantastic fan and opened the vents , the crank on the front vent broke while turning. to make things worse the end caps fell out of the day-nite shades and while lifting to open the windows the blins came out of their metal holder and ripped.we are not rough on stuff ,but the quality of this rv is just terrible, worse one i have ever seen. before the weeekend was over we were afraid to touch anything for fear it would break and of course something else happened.the trim on the cabinets just fell off, the staples were shot completely through the molding. by this time we were pretty upset and the montana name is shot in our minds.the carpet that tore on our last trip ripped even more,dealer could not look at it before this trip,and now refrigeration oil is starting to seep into the ceiling inside the rv.this rv is to go to the dealer tomorrow and we are so pissed off that i do not know if we want it repaired, do you think we are wrong to ask keystone to replace this rv. the list of things that happened on our first trip is rather long also and i know this rv was a monday or a friday job. any comments of what to do would be appreciated as we have labeled this the weekend from hell.
