The seats that are installed on the front passenger side have i’ll positioned seatbelts. There is no adjustment for it. I’ve reported it to the dealership and they said they hear it all the time but there is nothing they can do. The seatbelt crosses the chest such that the seatbelt anchors at the top of the seat crossing the neck. Should an accident occur, the seatbelt will be across the neck. This could result in a devastating injury. If i were short, i could understand the positioning but i am 5’8”. I took photos and are attached.

While driving, the check engine light came on. Moments later, another check engine light came on and the def gauge went from f to e and turned red with an alarm. We were about 5 miles from our destination. I called newmar who put spartan on the phone. It was the def sensor. I was asked to drive one hour away on a two lane road to a dealer. I refused. We extended our stay by one week until the part came in (back ordered). Mobile technicians came and installed the part. I asked if i should have a spare sensor... Just in case...And was told no. The.Check engine light went out and it appears to be fixed.
