Double check your docs to ensure you can back out and get any down payments back. Getting a replacement is probably the best position to start with.
Re the damage and the picture with the yellow tape, where is the hitch/kingpin - was it removed - because it was damaged and the impact/crack in the first and second picture is secondary? If yes, a bent hitch would imply a big hit. As mentioned above, that would be of concern and a vote to walk away from this rig. (It looks like there are other scrapes - did it fall on it's side? (you mentioned, side of the delivery vehicle.) If yes, another reason to walk away from this one.
Other things to check that may be of concern and that you could raise to support your decision and/or strengthen your negotiating position.
- Inspect the perimeter of the cap where it connects underneath, sides, and top, any pulling away or compression could mean damage.
-The front slide is located farther back but it should be operated to make sure the opening and slide were not affected.
-Check closets, ceilings, and wall in the front section for warped panels. Open the sliders, doors.
- Besides the written, extra frame warranty suggested above, you may want guarantees on the paint and fiberglass repair - something like, paint peeling or cracks reappearing, leaking, will be repaired as long as you own it. (These extra warrantees will mean little to nothing if the dealer goes out of business.)
- You'll want to make sure the repair is not visible.
- Check the landing gear operation and straightness.
- If it really landed on it's side, a host of other things to check.
