2021: “Propane line location in tire well. Tires rubbed hole in propane line causing a propane leak. We drive with propane off. Got to campsite and turned propane on. Within a half hour smelled propane really bad. Turned off propane. Called rv repair and they found the leak. This is a dangerous design flaw.”

The fire alarms did not sound the only indication was smoke filling the RV. Thankful this was during the day and we were awake. I felt the walls finding nothing hot then went outside and discovered the roof was on fire. I grab the fire extinguisher and climbed the ladder onto the roof and began putting out the fire. Attached are the pictures that show that there are screws/nails and a metal piece that goes through the wiring which caused the fire. …”
