The problem

Certain fifth wheel trailers and truck campers equipped with model hp 6000 automatic changeover regulators. These regulators contain two rubber diaphragms in which the second diaphragm can tear under pressure resulting in a propane leak.

The risk

A possible fire can result in the presence of an ignition source.

The fix

Emerald isle (for grand hall) will be conducting the remedy campaign. A revised regulator will be provided free of charge. Owners are being requested to inspect the gas regulator for the following identifying marks: model 6000, p1.0 - 15.6, Q6.R280, automatic changeover by h.P. Inc. If these are on the gas regulators, owners should contact emerald isle toll-free at 866-828-2788.
