The U.S. Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Florida's lemon law does not require buyers to prove a specific number of repair attempts or days out of service. The court revived a lawsuit against RV manufacturer Forest River Inc., reversing a lower court's dismissal.

The U.S. Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals has revived a defect lawsuit against RV manufacturer Forest River Inc., clarifying Florida's lemon law. The court ruled that the law does not require buyers to prove a specific number of failed repair attempts or days the vehicle was out of service to seek compensation. This decision reverses a lower court's dismissal of the case.

Meanwhile, other developments in the RV industry include Terex Corporation completing a year-long renovation of its service center in Decatur, Indiana. The facility now features 26 service bays, 12 paint booths, and 42 free campsites with 50-amp electricity for customers. Bent's RV in Louisiana launched a free annual inspection program covering 29 safety and mechanical checks. MobileRVService.com introduced a tool for dealers to outsource excess repair work, potentially reducing the average repair time of 34 days during peak seasons.
