Don't risk losing your warranty rights-- know your RV warranty!

It often takes weeks or even months to get a brand new RV scheduled for warranty repairs, followed by weeks or even months for the actual repairs to occur. RV manufacturers know this, and they know that the law requires you to give them a reasonable opportunity to repair your brand new RV's defects under that warranty. However, instead of standing behind their products and warranty, many manufacturers are putting language in the warranty itself shortening the time period that you have to file a lawsuit for breach of that warranty.

This is a problem for many RV owners, because most owners are not provided an opportunity to review the manufacturer's warranty prior to purchasing their brand new RV. Instead, the warranty is buried in a large stack, bag, or box of manuals that is sitting in the RV after purchase and at the time of any walk through. In many instances, and the consumer will not even discover that the manufacturer's warranty is in that stack, bag or box until they are having problems getting their RV repaired and the manufacturer's warranty has already expired or is close the expiring.

This is also a problem for many RV owners, because the long repair time combined with the shortening of the consumer's legal rights only leaves a small window for an RV owner to provide the manufacturer with a reasonable opportunity to repair their brand new RV.

So how do you protect yourself? Find and read your warranty right away! And, if you your warranty shortens the time period that you have to file a lawsuit for breach of warranty, then make sure to contact an attorney before the deadline if you are having problems getting your RV repaired, so that way you know your rights!
