The problem
The stoves installed in the travel trailers were manufactured for natural gas operation and were not converted to propane gas operation. Use of a natural gas stove with propane gas fuel will create a high level of carbon monoxide.
The risk
High carbon monoxide levels in the travel trailer interior can result in asphyxiation of the occupants.
The fix
Dealers will convert the stoves for propane gas by making adjustments where necessary.
