AFTER SPENDING 6 WEEKS IN THE FACTORY SHOP FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS, WE DROVE THIS UNIT BACK HOME (1200 MILES) AND MY WIFE HAD TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL WITH CARBON MONOXIDE POISIONING SYMPTOMS. THIS WAS AFTER FLEETWOOD "REPAIRED" THE PROBLEM. ALSO, THE WINDSHIELD WASHERS HAVE NOT WORKED SINCE THE UNIT WAS 2 MONTHS OLD. BOTH THE LOCAL DEALER AND FLEETWOOD FACTORY HAVE ATTEMPTED REPAIRS. MOST RECENT REPAIR LASTED 3 HOURS. WE ARE UNABLE TO REMOVE MUD/ROAD GRIME FROM WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING, MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. ALSO, THE ELECTRIC STEPS FOR ENTRANCE/EGRESS FROM THE UNIT HAVE FAILED AGAIN. FLEETWOOD "REPAIRED" THEM ON DECEMBER 22, 2000, AND THEY DO NOT WORK.
