I bought a new 2108 Big Counter from campers Inn in Kingston NH. the bill of sale say's new, was advertised as new. I had questions about some roof bubbles that the dealer claims in normal, so I called Heartland to ask what they thought, he began by asking me the Vin number, He advised me I was not the original owner, that it had been previously registered. He asked for the sales receipt and said he would contact Campers Inn and find out more. If this is true what recourse do I have? I can't believe a dealer would do this.
sold used camper as new

It could be a paperwork mistake. Our warranty paperwork was originally turned into Heartland with the wrong VIN number. We found out when trying to get info on parts from Heartland. So it could be a simple mistake.

I hope this is indeed a mistake I can't imagine the dealer would do this, my paperwork stated it as new as did the ad. But when I was signing for the sale the finance lady mentioned the bank wouldn't give me the extended years on the loan because they considered it used, she said because it was a 2018, maybe they could see it had been previously owned.
I just checked I signed a application for title form. I haven't been to the DMV to register yet, been putting that off.

Probably not your fault, probably Auto correct. Does it all the time
I talked to the manager at Campers Inn today, he said the person who registered the camper on Heartlands website finance's fell through and they never bought it, he said he was going to contact Heartland and let them know and assured me the camper was new, he later called me back and said he sent them the documents that the camper was never sold. I am going to call Heartland tomorrow to confirm this. According to the manager the rig never left the lot. I still have my guard up but hopefully he's telling me the truth.

I believe the dealer sends in the registration, so it's possible they thought they had everything all set and then something blew up with the financing. I think the title paperwork, once submitted to the state, can't be withdrawn. So if that never happened, the state probably regards it as a new trailer.
I received an application for title not transfer of title, I believe that means it has never been titled to anyone.
I gained a few gray hairs after that one.
