If I may ask, where do they live, I grew up just 20 minutes away from Ukiah. They have had some torrential downpours in the last month there. I know I looked at a smaller trailer in Ukiah years ago, I had a small truck at the time and so was more concerned with the weight. The guy sat there with a calculator doing the weights with water and such, and we came up with very different numbers, he swore up and down the weight of water was 7lbs/gallon. The weight is actually 8.34lbs/gallon, and my water treatment licenses dictate that I better know what I am talking about. He proceeded to inform me that I must be terrible at my job if I didn't even know what water weighed... needless to say we left.

Oh now your going to blame the delivery company for pulling it like they always do. If they encountered severe weather on the way it should have been noted by the driver.
As the OP stated in his first post, the DEALER delivered the FW, not a hotshot driver.

No one has mentioned "finger pointing". Seems like since its left the dealers lots after a pre delivery inspection that FR and the dealer would blame who ever delivered it to it's current location. Any pix you could post if the damage?

The only time I've heard of RV manufacturers taking rigs back is with legal action. If they're willing to get lawyers involved, they may be able to get the manufacturer to take it back.
Otherwise, I'd wait and see what the manufacturer will do. I'd personally be calling Cedar Creek vs. waiting to hear back from what the dealer does/says.
Often times, a factory return is in order.
Not necessarily so, our 2017 Wildcat which also is a Forest River product was replaced by the factory with a brand new unit when we had some delamination with the floor (blamed it on the adhesive manufacturer) and a cosmetic issue with the exterior walls. We never dreamed they would replace it nor did we ask them too but they did anyway and who are we to argue with that. The bonus was the new one came with a second AC unit for our troubles, exterior ref. as they are standard with changes in the model, and 16" wheels :B. They even told us to give them a $$ amount for any aftermarket items that we put on such as new bath faucet, expansion tank, and a inexpensive Henges bath fan. Given the the extra stuff on our new one we said no worries on the items we added.
The manufacturer treated us very well, you may be surprised.

Dan, I love being corrected like that. (not sarcasm) It's great to hear they took care of you. Did they just come out with the offer? "Wow, this rig is really messed up- how about we just replace it?"
The Sabre factory ended up treating me quite well when I had issues. But I didn't have my rig replaced.
