Dometic refrigerator model rm2852 was recalled on april 11, 2008 because of possibly starting a fire. I received a recall letter in the mail on july 31, 2008. why did it take so long to notify me? I have a disabled son who doesn't know danger, such as fire. I have used my motorhome many times this year. this could have been avoided. these recalls which could start a fire should be told to us consumers faster than this was. this does not make me want another motorhome with dometic products. I would like to know who IS responsible for this. thank you, al schuerman *tr
