Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My father and his friend both died from carbon monoxide poisoning while sleeping in a fleetwood southwind motorhome in november of 1999. carbon monoxide from the onan generator filled the motor home with the deadly fumes. we are currently in litigation with fleetwood, onan and the dealership. investigations during the course of the lawsuit have revealed many other instances of the same fate befalling other individuals and families. fleetwood and onan have shown they have no regard for the death's their products are causing. they would rather litigate than fix the problem. please hold these companies accountable and prevent other families from going through the tragedy our family has had to endure. http://www.mcsrr.org/pressreleases/nhtsa01p.html. *nm
