Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I am a very unsatisfied customer since the first day we bought our rv because we began having problems. on 5/2000 we attended to united rv at ft. worth, texas, where we bought it on 9/98 and had it fixed. we lost a lot of money in our expenses (which we should haven't paid) and, besides that, we attended a nearby fleetwood factory at longview, texas, to have it fixed again because it wasn't fixed right the first time. now, almost two months from our return, we began to experience lots of headaches since the main leaf spring at the right side of the rv broke risking my wive's and my lives due we were towing the rv at 50 miles per hour on our way back to our home place at mexico city where we live. thanks to a mexican highway patrol we didn't experience any accident. there are too many things failed, like a non-working fridge, no electricity from the electric contacts except for the microwave oven and the a/c, the lpg leak detection alarm has turned my wife and i crazy since we can't stop it and shut it off while the lpg is shut off, the bathroom door knob failed and my wife stood almost 2 hours inside the toilet without making her way out (what would have happened in an event of fire?), we had raindrops on the interior and it was all wet everytime it rained, etc. etc,, and i can still write a lot of more deffects. this rv we bought was brand new but it seemed to be more than 20 years old. we live in mexico city and we haveour rv located at a trailer park on the city of cuernavaca, 50 miles away from mexico city. i will appreciate any kind response you can provide.*ak
