2001 BEAVER MONTEREY. I'VE OWNED THIS SINCE NEW. WE CONTINUE TO ATTEMPT TO MAKE THIS VEHICLE SAFE. THE BOSH BRAKING SYSTEM IS NO ADEQUATE TO SAFELY STOP THIS VEHICLE. WE'VE REPLACED EVERY FUNTIONAL PART IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM, MORE THAN ONCE. WE FULLY COMPLIED WITH THE NHTSA DIRECTIVES. WE HAV OVER $225,000.00 INVESTED IN THIS COACH. IT IS UNUSABLE AND NOT SAFE. I'M STUCK WITH IT, AS ALL DEALERS AND THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS A COMPLETE NEW MORE POWERFUL BRAKING SYSTEM. THE BOSH SYSTEM IS USED ON SEVERAL MODELS SPANING SEVERAL YEARS AND MODELS. THE SAFARI CORP. SOLD OUT TO MONOCO COACH CORP. THEY ARE AWARE AND WILL NOT HELP. I HAVE OVER $10,000.00 INVESTED REPLACING ALL COMPONENTS, BY VAROIUS DEALERS AND A FACTORY SERVICE CENTER. SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED OR SEVERLY HARMED IF THEY BUY ONE OF THESE USED AND ARE UNAWARE OF THE EXTREMELY POOR BRAKES. *TT
