THE VEHICLE IS A CAMEO LXI RECREATIONAL TRAVEL TRAILER, WHICH MAY NOT FALL IN YOUR JURISDICTION. I UNDERSTAND, AFTER SOME RESEARCH, THAT THE KY LEMON LAW APPLIES TO AUTOMOBILES ONLY. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF THERE WERE SOME APPLICABLE LAW THAT WOULD ALLOW ME RECOURSE WITHOUT HAVING TO FILE SUIT. THIS IS A BRAND NEW 2003 TRAILER, AND THE PROBLEMS STARTED FROM THE BEGINNING. THE DEALER WAS INFORMED IMMEDIATELY OF THE PROBLEMS, AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED IMMEDIATELY ALSO. THE RUN-A-ROUND HAS BEEN INCREDIBLE TO SAY THE LEAST. WE HAVE RECEIVED HELP FROM A DEALER THAT DID NOT SALE US THE TRAILER, BUT DID SOME WARRANTY WORK, SO THERE ARE HONEST PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO HONOR THEIR CALLING AND WORKMANSHIP. IF HELP IS AVAILABLE, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.
