Thanks to all who posted. I don't need any more names.
The list of "Makes" came from the NHTSA website. They say it was populated useing information contained in previously filed complaints. Obviously the RV owner making the original complaint didn't understand the term "Make" to mean Manufacturer and the clerical staff at NHTSA doesn't know much about RV manufacturers.
I am hoping that I can get them to clean up their list so that when consumers want to file a claim they will be presented with a more useful list.
I note similar problems when it comes to reporting the tire MFG and Design or Line. Some individuals don't know the difference. Some even think the size is the "model" after they include part of the tire size in the Manufacturer's name.
