Poor quality, failure by the manufacturers and sales organizations to honor manufacturers’ warranties (1 year – 10,000 miles) and the mind-set of “if you didn’t buy it here we wont service it”.

The company sold its 35-foot and 40-foot motor homes under the See Ya! Alfa’s fifth-wheel models included the Toyhouse, which featured a storage area intended for motorcycles or all-terrain vehicles.
