Call for Class Action Lawsuit against unsafe MHs
Adam,
You are correct as far as this being a great "lifestyle", and I'm sure that no-one in this business intentionally sets forth to injure or harm anyone. HOWEVER!, I have only to show you Iris's post in "general rv'ing" re: "low cost attorneys" to prove to you that there are people out there that have NO pride in workmanship and that will take the (forgive me) "almighty" $ over human safety! I think all Buddy was trying to say was that when this does happen and honest people, like Iris, get taken, there needs to be some avenue for recourse! And I fully agree with that! I agree with everything else you said, and I do try to convince people I talk to that they should do the same. But how can you tell Iris that this is a great lifestyle, and she should continue on? It happened to me also, but I was able to get out of my ordeal. Now as far as Iris and I being the minority, we may not be. I joined this community so that I wouldn't get taken again, for Iris, it's too late. Most people write here, (myself included) because of our good times we've had, or searching for knowledge (again, myself included) but for the 1st timer that gets a lemon, It's hard to get them back on our side. When they get a bad taste for RV'ing, do you think they're gonna be interested in visiting an RV site? Probably not! That's why we need some sort of Federal intervention to say "hey, a lemon is not acceptable" whether you've bought a $1500 trailer or a $400,000 bus. When someone coughs up their retirement money and cashes in on a house to convert to this lifestyle only to be left out in the cold by the dealership that won't stand by their work, That my friend is a crime. Otherwise, I fully agree with you and I will continue to support all that goes into this.
God bless,
AT-
