You can sue the dealership for negligence. Negligence is the failure to exercise due care (that degree of care that a reasonable dealership would have exercised under the same or similar circumstances to prevent foreseeable harm). Your damages (the amount of compensation you are seeking to recover in your lawsuit) would be the value of the motor home. It would be advisable to speak with an attorney who handles litigation involving negligence claims.
