The problem
The wood anchor screws holding the inboard end of the furnace may not have been installed. Thus, the furnace may shift position or bounce while traveling. Consequence of defect: furnace movement could cause failure of the copper tube supplying lp gas to the furnace. This may result in a gas fire or explosion while traveling, parked, or camping. Lp gas should be turned off while traveling or if furnace is not secured firmly to its mountings.
The fix
Secure furnace by installing anchor screws. Inspect and test furnace supply tube.
