What's wrong?
The propane manifold on the 2018 Crossroads Cameo and Redwood is the junction where propane lines meet and route gas to appliances. On these recreational trailers, the manifold sits near the kitchen slide, the movable room section that extends when parked and retracts for travel. The propane system depends on those lines staying clear of the floor and trim as the slide moves.
On affected trailers, a design change placed a copper line manifold on the slide room bar. When the slide room closes, that manifold contacts the main floor of the camper. Repeated contact damages the propane line or fittings, allowing propane to leak from a system that is supposed to stay sealed.
What you notice is the smell. Propane has an odorant called ethyl mercaptan, which smells like rotten eggs. If that odor is present around the trailer, treat it as a propane leak warning sign.

Covers the Cameo and Redwood trailer lines for 2018; both use the same LPG lines and fittings component in this recall.

|---|---|
| 2018 Crossroads Redwood | Lines and fittings |
| Units affected | 161 |
A matching 2018 Crossroads Cameo or Redwood does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
A damaged propane line can leak gas and raise the risk of a fire. Propane is treated with ethyl mercaptan, so a leak smells like rotten eggs. If you smell propane, shut off the propane supply if you can do so safely, stay away from ignition sources, and call the dealer. Repair is free at any franchised Crossroads dealer.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Crossroads technician repositions the propane manifold on the slide room bar and removes the metal trim along the main floor line so the propane line has proper clearance. Parts and labor are free under the recall. Crossroads provides reimbursement through its standard reimbursement plan for owners who already paid for this repair before the recall notice. Bring documentation for the paid repair and ask the service desk how to submit the claim.
