Many RV owners find themselves stuck between the manufacturer, the dealership, and the warranty administrator — and they don’t know which direction to go before hiring an attorney.
Before jumping into a lemon law case, we can often help clarify the situation, evaluate the RV, and provide a technical third-party perspective to determine what is reasonable, what is repairable, and what direction makes the most sense. In many cases, this saves time, stress, money — and prevents unnecessary legal escalation. At the end of the day, our goal is to help speed up the repair process, protect your investment, and get you back on the road enjoying your RV — making memories, not dealing with problems.
California RV Specialists offers independent 3rd party evaluations to help RV consumers make an informed decision before involving an attorney.
We are also available to assist RV manufacturers and RV dealerships directly, helping all parties come together professionally to resolve concerns, clarify technical facts, and work toward a fair and mutually beneficial resolution.
Our goal is simple:
Identify the problem, document the facts, and provide clarity — so all parties can make informed decisions.
