I have only started "yelling and ranting" this week after getting nowhere for one year of issues.
I am single, with 2 pets, no bathroom or converter as I keep a charger on the battery.

It's really in poor taste to assume that it was done on purpose. 
I wrote the email in "Word" format. 
It, then gives you the option to post in the original format or plain text.
It wasn't a conspiracy.....I'm not sure why you assume the worst....

Since it was in two different formats, I am pretty it was done on purpose. As I said in the other thread, before it was deleted, I am sure you decided the larger font and multicolors was more dramatic.

I am not surprised.  If you approached them like your initial post their response will be the minimum they have to do.  I worked with customer service folks from a number of industries and a common thread is they don't react positively to those who yell and rant.  If you did that with the dealer and FR on a previous trailer you used up any reserve of good will you may have had.

A previous poster asked why you bought a second trailer from them after problems with another.  Another question may be why did they sell you another.

uhmmm? Tee, if you had a "different disaster" with the dealership, Cheyenne Camping Center, 9 months earlier, why did you go back to the same dealer to buy your Pod.  Are we missing something here?  Just wondering.

I have always gone to the dealer first. They are less-than-happy to help.

It sounds like you are pretty angry from your posts.  And yes, most of the stuff is dealer prep that could be taken care of relatively quickly.  As for the tree damage, that's why you have insurance.  Let them decide, as Furpod suggested, decide how to deal with it.  They are in the business of adjusting claims and getting things fixed.  If the insurance company wants to total the trailer due to the tree damage, then the good side is that you don't have to deal with the dealer again, which, based on the tone of your posts, it seems you'd rather not do anyway.  If you have lost all confidence in the dealer, then lean on your insurance company to total the trailer.  It doesn't take much to declare a total loss given repair and transport costs.  Take the money and buy another trailer from a dealer whom you trust and with whom you can work.
