The manufacturer was contacted and notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 10,000.

The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V184000 (Equipment). The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was made aware of the issue but informed the contact that parts were not yet available.
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.
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.
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 neighborâs trailers.
