Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While driving from nevada to illinois, all the window seals (except in bedroom) blew out, then the dashboard separated from walls of unit, also the walls on the drivers side released from the floor lengthwise about 20 feet. you can see road, the separation is so big. the separation is also on the passenger side but not as long. we just found out that the seals and windows have already been replaced once before we bought coach in 2001. windows in unit are manufactured by creative. after talking with a coachmen dealer, they suspect that the windows have been leaking for years before we bought in 9/01 (we are also the first titled owner). this is very dangerous and are afraid to drive the unit. nothing has been replaced as of july 2004. suggestions? 1997 coachmen, santara, 31ft, ford 460. *ak
