this has been in the papers for months about the fema trailers, what there finding out now is that any one that has gotten a trailer or camper or rv in the last few years has the same thing wrong with them as the fema ones, only difference is we have stripes,and stickers on the out side to make them prettier and along with that we are not treated the same because we got ours from a RV dealer, the story was ran in the free lance star 2/17/08 by a AP reporter .I have talked to every one I can and they figure our story will be out in 12-18 months, and that's why im here there will be a lot of sickness and death in that amount of time,if I save one person the pain we went through il be happy we need more people not willing to put up with this,congress did have a hearing July 10th on the fema trailers and there blaming fema for not testing the campers before they got them,But as for now the company's are going free, and are free
to still make toxic trailers

a little more info when we had our camper tested we were informed that at the levels we had we are not safe even for short amount of time by the company who sold us the camper .They just kept saying its needs aired out more it need aired out more and it would be extremely toxic if we were to stay in it.And its parked in our drive way 6 months of the year with the vents open and the door open all day.And this is a camper that's never been south of the VA border.what difference does that make. well its the temp, after our first test our dealer them self's said it was not safe to go in , but to be right for VA we should test it at a lower temp the day we tested that day it was a temp of 100 out side, so the second test we did was at a temp of 80 day 60 night and again we failed to a unsafe even for short amounts of time .People can do what they may some campers are not as bad as others , next time you go camping make a sign that says formaldehyde or toxic trailer and see how many people come over to you that are just part time campers and tell you there story's of them self's or people they know its sad.I was even told the company's are getting the wood to build your camper from china by one dealer that should tell us something,
