What 2003 Safari Coach Trek Gas owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Driving on hwy 101 in ca my "auto-park"light came on. I stopped and called workhorse, the mfg. Of the rv's chassis. They gave me the name of a repair facility about 90 miles away. Upon arriving at the facility I put the rv in reverse to park it and the rv wouldn't move. The parking brake system (auto-park) engaged so I could not move. The rv was locked up. Could not go forward or reverse. The problem was diagnosed to be a bad pressure switch. The same exact thing happened almost exactly two years earlier at a busy intersection in ca. I had to be towed. The problem was the same faulty pressure switch.
