Electrical complaints

Electrical system

Purchased brand new rv, went "dry camping" (without utilities) within 1 week of possession; on generator, microwave lost lots of time, causing meals to burn, etc.; Over last 10 months dealership unsuccessfully replaced (they say) 3 times; rv mfg refusing since dec. To do more; told by generator mfg I have to pay "large sums" to find out what's wrong and get fixed then apply to rv mfg for warranty reimbursement -- not acceptable, frustrated, sick and tired of not being able to use brand new, expensive purchase. *Jb
