Re: Workhorse to Re-enter Class A Chassis Market
Takata made the shrapnel-loaded air bags, but the car manufacturers are responsible for the recall. Anyone who drove an early Workhorse chassis knew that the brakes felt spongy and weird and stopping distances were increased. Several years passed before Workhorse initiated the recall.400Views0likes0CommentsRe: Workhorse to Re-enter Class A Chassis Market
I'm not sure why there is so much excitement about this. Workhorse has never been a "strength" in the RV business. First the hidden brake problems that affected almost everything they built and probably caused accidents. Then they backed out of the business when things got bad, leaving parts availability an issue. I'm not necessarily a Ford guy, but at least we have been able to count on them for over 30 years.346Views0likes0CommentsRe: Tornado safety
According to NOAA, the average annual deaths from tornados each year is 80, not 50. Now, multiply that by being in tornado alley and multiply it some more by being in an RV, and the actual odds for being injured or worse are much higher. Do not ignore the warnings, know where you are and where you can go. Keep your wits together at all times. There is nothing funny about a tornado --- just ask folks in Joplin, Conway, Vilonia and Tuscaloosa. Unfortunately there are many of them who you can't ask.391Views0likes0CommentsRe: Tornado safety
If you have an IPhone, you can ask Siri what county you are in. Any smart phone has plenty of options for tornado safety. I prefer the Weather Channel app's tornado alert feature. Their lightning alert will tell you that lightning struck .2 miles from you (or whatever distance). Counties are usually named when there is a tornado watch, but tornado warnings are much more specific. Modern technology has made it much safer for us in Tornado Alley.218Views0likes0Comments
