Recreational vehicles (RVs) are a popular way to travel and enjoy the outdoors. However, like any other type of vehicle, RVs can be defective. In fact, there have been a number of lawsuits filed against RV manufacturers in recent years alleging that their products were defective. In Wisconsin you may have special rights to protect you, the consumer. 

In Wisconsin, there are a number of laws that protect consumers from defective products. The Wisconsin Lemon Law, for example, allows consumers to return a new vehicle if it is found to be defective within a certain period of time. The law also requires manufacturers to repair or replace defective vehicles. There are similar laws for defective used RVs and campers. 

If you believe that your RV is defective, you should contact an attorney to discuss your legal options. An attorney can help you understand your rights and can help you file a lawsuit, if necessary.
