What's wrong?
The propane cylinder on a 2010-2012 Ever-Lite Travel Trailer stores fuel for onboard appliances such as the stove, furnace, or water heater. It is supposed to hold propane under pressure and release gas only through the connected valve and regulator when an appliance calls for fuel. The system depends on the cylinder staying sealed during storage, travel, and campsite use.
On affected trailers, the cylinder is part of the recalled equipment because it can leak propane gas or rupture. A leak means propane escapes outside the normal fuel path instead of staying contained inside the cylinder and hose system. A rupture is a more severe cylinder failure, where the container no longer holds pressure as designed.
There is no warning sign before failure. If you smell propane or hear gas escaping, shut off the cylinder if you can do that safely and keep ignition sources away.
