tbsilver-ga,
Thanks for getting back to me.
The list of specific companies that were of interest to you was a big
help, as I was able to search for specific product liability cases
involving these companies, and for the firms who represented them.
I've listed the results of my searches below, and have included firms
with a stated focus on representing makers of recreational vehicles,
as well as firms specifically involved with the companies you
mentioned.
I trust this information fully answers your question.
However, please don't rate this answer if you need additional
information. Just post a Request for Clarification to let me know how
I can assist you further, and I'm at your service.
All the best,
pafalafa-ga
