I OWN AND LIVE IN THIS 1999 FLEETWOOD TRAVEL TRAILER. IT HAS A RECAL ON THE DOMETIC REFRIGERATOR. THE RECALL IS DUE TO LEAKING FUMES AND OVER 3,000 HAVE EXPLODED. I TRIED TO HAVE THEM FIX IT THEY REFUSED. I CANNOT USE MY PROPANE OR WILL NOT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO HAVE MY TRAILER EXPLODE. I HAVE COMPLAINED NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO MAKE OTHER PEOPLE DO THEIR JOBS TO GET THIS RECALL DONE. I HAVE LOST SO MUCH MONEY ON FOOD AND BUYING THESE LITTLE TINY REFRIGERATORS AND THEY DON'T WORK OR SOMETHING HAPPENS PLUS I DON'T HAVE ROOM. CAN I GET THIS FIXED PLEASE.
