San Diego RV Lemon Law Attorney → Does Your Defective RV Qualify?

Table of Contents

Your RV is your ticket to adventure—your home-away-from-home on wheels. So when a manufacturer sticks you with a defective rig, it’s more than just a bummer. It’s a one-way trip to Headacheville.

If your RV is spending more time in the shop than at the campground, you might just have a lemon on your hands. It’s time to put California’s RV Lemon Law to work for you—and Mission Law Group is here to help.

RV Defects That May Qualify Under Lemon Law in San Diego

RVs are rolling houses, and that means there’s a lot that can go wrong. Some of the most common problems we see in RV Lemon Law cases include:

Leaks (roof, plumbing, windows)
Electrical problems (dead outlets, flickering lights, faulty wiring)
Slide-out malfunctions
Appliance failures (fridge, oven, AC)
Leveling system issues
Suspension and alignment problems
Braking system defects
Mold and mildew from water intrusion

These aren’t just minor annoyances—they’re vacation-killers. And if your San Diego RV dealer’s endless repair attempts can’t seem to get your RV in road-ready shape, it’s time to put California’s RV Lemon Law to the test.

How to Tell if Your RV is a Lemon in San Diego

Think you might be rolling in a lemon RV? Here’s how to tell:

Is your RV still covered by the manufacturer’s warranty?
Does it have a substantial defect that impairs its use, value, or safety?
Has the dealer tried and failed to fix the same problem repeatedly?
Has the RV been in the shop for repairs for 30 days or more?

If you’re nodding your head, you probably have an RV lemon law case. Class A, Class C, travel trailer, toy hauler, fifth wheel—doesn’t matter. If it’s rolling on sour, Lemon Law can help. Talk to a Lemon Law lawyer to get the ball rolling.

Bought a Used RV? Here’s What the 2024 Lemon Law Ruling Means for You

In 2024, the California Supreme Court dropped a bombshell for used vehicle buyers. Their ruling in Rodriguez v. FCA US LLC basically said that Lemon Law protections no longer apply to most used vehicles—though there may still be relief for certain manufacturer-certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicles.

What does this mean for used RV buyers? If you bought a non-CPO used RV, even if it was sold with a third-party extended warranty, you likely can’t pursue a Lemon Law claim for defects. The one hope is if your used RV came with a valid manufacturer-backed CPO warranty and:

The RV’s defect is covered under the terms of the CPO warranty
The problems started during the CPO coverage period
The dealer has made multiple failed attempts to fix the issue

If your CPO RV meets all those criteria, you might still have a shot at Lemon Law relief. But for all other used RV buyers, Lemon Law is probably off the table after the 2024 decision.

Don’t roll the dice on a used RV without understanding your rights. If you think your rig might qualify for Lemon Law protection, get a San Diego Lemon Law attorney in your corner from mile one.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the time limit to file an RV Lemon Law claim in California?

You’ve got 4 years from when you first noticed (or should’ve noticed) the defect. But the fresher your claim, the tastier the outcome—so don’t dawdle.

What's a "substantial defect" for a Lemon Law RV?

Think big things like slide-outs that won’t budge, total electrical failure, major league leaks, or anything that makes the RV unsafe or undrivable. Minor dings and boo-boos generally don’t count.

Can I still use my RV while I'm pursuing a Lemon Law claim?

Technically yes, but it’s risky. The manufacturer might try to blame you for the problems. Your lawyer can help you weigh the pros and cons based on your RV’s specific issues.
