MANUFACTURE HAS SINCE REPLACED ALUMINUM WITH STEEL RADIATORS BUT WOULD NOT AGREE TO PAY FOR ANY OF THE REPLACEMENT SINCE THE WARRANTY TIME HAS EXPIRED. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME TYPE OF MOTOR HOME THAT ARE HAVING LEAKS ALSO. I FEEL THIS IS A TREND AND MAYBE SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FOR INSTALLING FAULTY RADIATORS IN THESE UNITS.
