I PURCHASED A 2005 TRAVEL SUPREME MOTORHOME, MODEL 42DS04 IN APRIL OF 2005. THE UNIT WAS PROVIDED WITH A SLEEPER SOFA WHICH SLEEPS TWO ADULTS. THE BEDROOM ALSO SLEEPS TWO ADULTS. I BELIEVE THAT THE UNIT SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH SEAT BELTS FOR A MINIMUM OF FOUR PEOPLE. WHILE RESEARCHING THE SITUATION I FOUND A RECALL, 06V002 WHICH COVERED A SIMILAR SITUATION WHERE NERVE HAD FAILED TO PROVIDE SEAT BELTS CONSISTENT WITH THE SLEEPING ACCOMMODATIONS OF THREE MODELS OF THEIR MOTORHOMES. I DISCUSSED THIS WITH THE CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER AT TRAVEL SUPREME AND HE TOLD ME THAT THEY (TRAVEL SUPREME) INSTALLED A STICKER IN THE BEDROOM THAT SPECIFIED THE SLEEPING CAPACITY OF THE MOTORHOME WAS TWO PEOPLE AND THAT RELIEVED THE MANUFACTURER FROM BEING REQUIRED TO INSTALL SEAT BELTS CONSISTENT WITH THE ACTUAL SLEEPING ACCOMMODATIONS. THEY WERE WILLING TO INSTALL ADDITIONAL SEATBELTS, AT A COST TO ME, WHICH I HAD THEM DO. *JB
