“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.
