Owner report 11418744 · 2021-05-27 (May 27, 2021)

Propane being heavier than air will tend to pool in any low spots on the ground in a campsite and then could be ignited by many sources of spark or static electricity, causing a fire that could engulf our trailer and possibly our neighbor’s trailers. It took a while with soapy w…

Owner report 11422566 · 2021-06-28 (June 28, 2021)
We have a Dometic range top/oven stove in our Jayco camper. While camping for two days I went to light the manual pilot light in our oven. I put the oven dial over to pilot and attempted to both put the match near the pilot outlet and push in the dial to activate the pilot gas flow. I could not do both so I went outside to get a helper. While outside it was decided to cook dinner on the camp fire. I forgot to go back inside and to turn the oven nob from pilot to off. Awhile later my wife went into the camper and it was "full" of propane g…
