2005 Alfa founder motorhome bought in 2007 about 4 month ago under warranty with alfa for the rv and freightliner for the frame. The brakeon all 4wheel are not working and they say that it is not covered because the dealer had it on the lot to long. But there is a warranty because I bought it new. It only has approximately 3000 miles since I bought it with 600 miles on it. All miles are approximate. *Tr
