  6. Filed Jun 28, 2021Failure Jun 15, 2021Marquette, MIFuel/propulsion system

    We have a Dometic range top/oven stove in our Jayco camper. While camping for two days I went to light the manual pilot light in our oven. I put the oven dial over to pilot and attempted to both put the match near the pilot outlet and push in the dial to activate the pilot gas flow. I could not do both so I went outside to get a helper. While outside it was decided to cook dinner on the camp fire. I forgot to go back inside and to turn the oven nob from pilot to off. Awhile later my wife went into the camper and it was "full" of propane gas. She opened a window and the door along with turning on the microwave vent fan to air out the camper. It seems to me that the safty gas valve should not leak propane while just in the pilot position.

  7. Filed Jun 22, 2021Failure May 30, 2021Portland, ORPlumbing

    The contact owns a 2019 Jayco Jay Flight SLX travel trailer. The contact stated the kitchen faucet had been leaking from the time of purchase. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with a fitting faucet needing to be replaced. However, the faucet started leaking again from underneath the countertop causing it to be swollen and soaked. The contact also stated water was leaking behind the shower trim, down into the insulation, and damaging the floor of the trailer. The vehicle was not taken back to the dealer for diagnosis or repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure.

  8. Filed May 27, 2021Failure May 13, 2021Marquette, MIFuel/propulsion system

    The trailer propane regulator/tank switch mounted on the front of the trailer between the two propane tanks started venting propane. The regulator is a Winntec Model 6020, P1.0-15.6, Q6.R280. Our camping neighbors said they could smell a very strong odor of propane. Propane being heavier than air will tend to pool in any low spots on the ground in a campsite and then could be ignited by many sources of spark or static electricity, causing a fire that could engulf our trailer and possibly our neighbor’s trailers. It took a while with soapy water to narrow down where the leak was coming from.
