Buy Back or Lemon Law

Here in California we have what's known as the Lemon Law. My best advice to you is look up the statute here and then compare it to any similar laws in your state. I don't know if it applies to RV's...

My A/C isn’t as good as I’d like either when all the vents are open. I closed the end ones on both the passenger side and driver side and then it blows at 46 degrees. It’s a design flaw with the zone...
