No, nothing should ever be held in place using duct tape or masking tape - no, it is not normal. The fact that your dealer would say this gives you some calibration on using him for anything in the future.

Question - did you have the wheels balanced? You would think that the factory or the dealer would do this before delivery, but it seems not to be true. Unbalanced wheels are a major cause of things shaking apart on any RV, including a TM. If you have not done it, take it to a tire shop and request that they balance all 3 wheels. And when they say "We never balance trailer tires!", remind them that you are paying and you want it done. Ot take it somewhere else.
