What's wrong?
The liquid propane hose on the 2022 Lance 1685 and 1985 travel trailers carries LP gas from the propane system to trailer equipment that uses it. That hose needs to stay fixed to the frame, away from moving suspension parts. The frame routing and fastener are supposed to keep the line outside the path of the leaf spring travel.
On affected trailers, the LP hose was not secured far enough away from the suspension. As the leaf spring and shackle move during travel, they can contact the hose. That contact can rub, pinch, or damage the line until LP gas leaks from the hose.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner will not have a reliable early symptom that the hose is in the path of the suspension before the line is damaged.
