HAD WE KNOWN THIS BEFORE, WE WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED. WE FELT WE WERE PAYING FOR A NEW VAN - THE $10,000 MILES PUT ON IT BY THE GREAT WEST VAN SALES REP." FOR DRIVING ONLY FROM RV SHOW TO RV SHOW ON WEST COAST." THE ACCIDENT REPORTEDLY OCCURRED IN TEXAS. WE'VE HAD SOME PROBLEMS, MOST OF WHICH WE REPAIRED OURSELVES AS WE DO NOT TRUST THE TECHNICIAN EMPLOYED BY THE DEALER. STILL HAVE A WATER LEAKAGE PROBLEM, BUT MAIN CONCERN IS THE ACCIDENT, AND THE FACT THAT NO HEADRESTS ARE ON THE SEATS. *AK
