The problem
On certain fifth wheel trailers equipped with suburban glass top, sealed burner ranges and cook tops, a threaded connector on the tube between the burner valve and the burner may not have been fully tightened during the manufacturing process.
The risk
If the threaded connector is not properly tightened, it is possible for the gas to leak from the connection when the burner is turned on. Lp gas is heavier than air and any leaked gas could accumulate in an enclosed or low area in your recreational vehicle. A sufficient quantity of accumulated gas, if ignited, could cause a fire or explosion.
The fix
Gulf stream is working with suburban to repair these cooking appliances. Owners may contact gulf stream at 1-800-289-8787 or suburban at 423-775-2131.
