The problem
On certain travel trailers, the lp supply hose for the outside range is connected too close to the range. In certain windy conditions, the heat from the range burner may cause the hose to melt.
The risk
This results in an increased risk of fire, personal injury and property damage.
The fix
Dealers will replace the copper lp tubing that is connected to the outside range with one of the correct length. The recall began on october 19, 2007. Owners may contact keystone rv at 1-866-425-4369.
