Far too often, attempting to get warranty work done is a real joke. That's why, some issues are simply not worth going through the hassle. Even if your dealership agreed to the warranty work, they'll ask you to bring in your camper and it will sit on their lot for weeks and weeks before they get yours in the shop to actually fix it.

RV's and the RV industry is absolutely nothing like the automobile industry. You absolutely cannot expect the same types of responses for repairs, and especially warranty repairs with an RV as you would an automobile. They both have wheels, but that's about the only thing the two industries have in common.

This is the reason everyone with any experience RVing for any length of time will say, learn how to do things yourself and fix your own camper.

I don't understand what the issue is with the paint, but the other items you addressed are all fixable by you. But yes, you'll have to pay for the replacement parts. But, you have the options: (1) Continue fighting with your dealership, which may still continue to be turned down. Your repair is not getting fixed during this time. (2) If warranty does fix it, your dealership will hold your camper hostage for weeks and weeks until they do the repair. (3) Bite the bullet, pay the price for new parts and fix them yourself. You'll have it done much quicker and you'll be off camping, instead of sitting at home brewing because the dealership is "waiting for the part to come in."
