What's wrong?
The affected 2018-2020 Nexus RVs use a Dometic 3-burner cooking stove tied into the LPG system. The saddle valve and manifold control the gas supply to the stove, so propane reaches the burners only when the appliance is being used. The o-ring seal helps keep that gas contained inside the valve assembly.
On affected units, the saddle valve securing bolt can be overtightened. That extra force damages the o-ring seal. Once the seal is damaged, gas can leak continuously from the stove valve area instead of staying inside the LPG system. Dometic has not determined the exact cause of the leaks, but the reported defect centers on the valve bolt, seal, and manifold connection.
The warning sign is the smell of gas fumes. If you smell gas near the stove or inside the RV, treat that as a sign of an active leak and stop using the appliance until it is inspected.
