Elkhart County, Indiana is the RV manufacturing capital of the United States. Elkhart county earned this reputation over the years by having a manufacturing base with skilled labor and a component supplier network located near the manufacturing hub.
Most of the manufacturers in Elkhart county do good work and care about their customers. There are a few bad apples, and there are a few that usually do good work but sometimes have a lemon slip through the cracks.
Most RV buyers who have problems with their vehicles make the mistake of waiting too long before contacting an attorney. As a general rule, I suggest that you contact an attorney after you have given the manufacturer or its dealer 2 opportunities to fix a given defect or two times into the depot to fix a mix of defects. If you purchase the vehicle from a dealer in your state, you can contact an attorney in your state, and find one through the NACA attorney finder. If you purchased directly from the manufacturer in Indiana, then I suggest that you contact an Indiana attorney. We are one of just a handful of consumer firms in Indiana that handle RV cases.
