Complaint Summary
STRUCTURE:BODY
Owner Narrative
ON A RETURN TRIP FROM ALASKA WE STOPPED IN MANITOBA, CANADA AT A REST AREA. A PERSON TOLD US THAT SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE CAMPER. I OPENED THE DOOR AND HOT AIR AND SMOKE FORCED ME BACK OUTSIDE. I UNHOOKED THE TRUCK AND REMOVED THE PROPANE TANKS AND MOVED THEM AWAY FROM THE BURNING HULK. IN FEW MINUTES THE CAMPER WAS TOTALLY BURNED. A CANADIAN POLICEMAN CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THEY PUT OUT THE FIRE. WE HAD NOT EXPERIENCED ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CAMPER UP TO THE POINT OF THE FIRE. THE REFRIGERATOR WAS BEING OPERATED ON PROPANE IN TRANSIT. OUR INSURANCE COMPANY INFORMED US THAT THERE WERE RECALLS ON CAMPERS OF THIS TYPE; HOWEVER WE HAD NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTIFICATIONS FROM THE SELLER. *TR
