86 35 ft BB Question

[Eric Johnson]

Hello Gail,
Well you're getting helpful suggestions from a lot of folks but one suggestion I
haven't
seen so far is taking them to task through magazine forums. Dealers and
manufacturers
hate to appear unfair in a magazine and will often eat dirt to keep their image
clean. I
suggest you write to the FMCA magazine, Motorhome magazine and any other trade
pubication you can think of. When Sirpilla gets a call from one of these guys,
they may
suddenly become more cooperative. I've seen it work for lots of other folks.
Regards, Eric
