deemed 'unsafe' mostly because the airbag retro-fit was an easy out for the insurance companies. the obvious fail points, �the frontal impact and weak diesel performance worked to the IHTSA advantage. however, Jeff, a portion of the final production run last December was sold to a company in the UK as bare bones models. search Danbury Caravans. finished to various trim levels [$], registered and sold as new. � � � � �mike � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �
