ABOUT A MONTH AFTER PURCHASE, ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH REFRIGERATOR, BACK TO DEALER 3-4 TIMES FOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH GENERATOR. WE DRIVE 20-25 MILES, BURNING ODOR IS SO BAD WE HAVE TO PULL OFF ROAD, GET OUT UNTIL ODOR CLEARS, AND GO ANOTHER 20-25 MILES, GET OUT AGAIN. WE HAVE NO POWER WHEN UNIT IS PLUGGED IN AT CAMPGROUND. DEALER AGREES DEFECT IS SERIOUS BUT CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. I CALLED FLEETWOOD, " VEHICLE OUT OF WARRANTY" " THEY DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHY THIS PROBLEM EXISTS" WE HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN, PAYMENTS OF $500.00 A MONTH AND WE'RE TERRIFIED EVERY TIME WE USE THIS MOTOR HOME. PLEASE, PLEASE HELP US .*AK
