Owner report 10212932 · 2007-12-27 (December 27, 2007)

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. WE OWN A 1998 GULFSTREAM FRIENDSHIP 102 MOTOR HOME WITH 58,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS A CASAPPA FLUID SYSTEM THAT CONTROLS THE POWER STEERING AND ENGINE COOLING. WHEN THE SYSTEM FAILS AS IT DID ON ME THE POWER STEERING IS LOST AND IT WAS VERY HARD TO KEEP THE MOTOR HOME UNDER CONTROL. I WILL HAVE THE SYSTEM REPLACED WITH OTHER CONTROLS. OLD PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM WHEN THE SYSTEM FAILS. IT WAS ALL I COULD DO TO KEEP IT ON THE ROAD. *TR
