I have to agree. I absolutely, do not like attorneys, but I have one. And I have used him for time to time to, say, write a letter on my behalf to get the job done. It does seem to get their attention.

This has all been interesting reading.
Here is my outcome. They have removed all four springs. The diagnosis is that they are all defective. Maybe a bad batch.
THey springs have been replaced with new 2000# springs. The originals were supposed to be 1750#. They have also repaired the burn marks from the tires in the underbelly fabric. They have also installed a peice of sheet metal above the tires on the driver side; there was only fabric there before. The sheet metal was at my request to hopefully prevent damage in the event of a tire problem.
So if all goes well, I am supposed to pick it up tomorrow morning. Anything you can think of that I should be looking for?
Thanks for everything,
Reb
that's great... they found and are repairing your problem... it should make a world of difference...

There comes a time often when the only way to get things done is to get an attorney involved, not to sue but speed things along. Why do you assume that everyone wants to sue just because they get legal representation? Has your only interaction with attorneys been someone wanting to sue you? Attorneys do more than just sue people.
I agree we should relax and see what happens, however when you have to cancel trips and change your whole summer family plans because a manufacturer or dealer can't get the job done within a reasonable amount of time it sometimes becomes necasary to get an attorney to protect yourself from being taken advantage of just because "we are campers". Usually when you get an attorney,the only one getting taken advantage of is you...are you an attorney?...I'm done now.

For the record, no I am not an attorney and I don't see how getting an attorney would make you the one being taken advantage of unless you hire an incompetent attorney, then shame on you, but to each his own.
Enough of this going back and forth. It's time for camping!
ImRebel, glad they are taking care of you and fixing things up. Good luck and happy camping!

It's home!
We picked it up yesterday. Everything is fixed. I have almost 4 inches of clearance now instead of one inch. They removed the flattened 1750# springs and replaced them with 4 new 2000# spings. It sits very nice and I'm happy. I did have to re set the hitch level. The slide out has been adjusted so it pulls in straight. It was found that the water pump wasn't bolted to the floor and the toilet valve had to be replaced because the bowl would not hold water.
So, here is the last *****.
I crawled under it to look at the work that was done and I actually found 2 bolts on the leafs that had not been tightened. Un-believable! But I'm done with it. I spent some time underneath and re torqued everything they could have possibly touched.
I think we need to put this thread to rest. AND GO CAMPING!!!!!!!
I'm packing it up for a trip to Joshua Tree on Friday.
Thanks to all for your input.

My wife is an attorney but keeps her being one on the down low. You'd be amazed at the change of attitude from people giving you a hard time when they get your work voicemail and it says you are an attorney. Raymour and Flannigan were giving us a hard time replacing new furniture they damaged during delivery. The got my wifes ework numbers voicemail message and suddenly got a whole lot more cooperative. A lawyer should only get paid if they get involved. Contacting one to assess your situation should be free.
