What to do if we just purchased an RV with an installment loan agreement and the bank now wants additional money paid because the dealer “forgot” to include something?
Purchased RV and completed the loan paperwork. Picked up the RV on Friday. Received a call from the lender that we needed to come up with another $2000 because they left off the rear deck fencing when they processed the loan paperwork. Are we liable for their mistake? All of our paperwork shows what we ordered should we be required to come up with the extra money now that we have already signed the agreement and have received the RV?

If you have a written agreement for the purchase agreement for the RV signed and dated by you and the dealer, the agreement is the agreement that you have as to the amount you are obligated upon.
For the lender to want to charge you additional monies for a mistkae by the dealer that you had no knowledge about (unilateral mistake) is not a legal basis to change the terms of the purchase and the loan you received for the RV. I would sign no new agreement.
