I find Rob's advice iron-clad sound and one
would be a gibbering fool not to follow it. Just think of how foolish
one
would look to brag about an aft cabin, then to complain about the noise
and
it can't be used as intended or to buy a highly rated minivan based on
magazine hype only to have it recalled for brake failure.



All good points, Gilly and thanks for the support. We had 1st hand
experience with the 35s5 and a few warnings about stern slap have been
an issue on just ONE night all season! Can you imagine if we'd just
listened to a few sailors instead of checking it out ourselves? On the
one night it did occur it could have easily been corrected by better
anchoring of course!
As for our van, the recall was not for our Sedona's serial #. Only some
vans were effected. This is the first new car I've bought that has
required zero service. My new Subaru's, Nissan, Toyota and Chrysler's
all required service within weeks when new. Can't say the same for the
new Camry my ex-girlfriend just bought. 3 defects right out of the
dealer.
It pays to do homework and test yourself when possible!
Thanks again!

You're welcome! Glad to be of service.
