APRIL, 2016, RV PARKED AND PROPANE COULD BE SMELLED. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT IT WAS COMING FROM A CRACKED WELD ON A 2009 MANCHESTER TANK MODEL 68129, WINNEBAGO # 144116-01-000. THIS 2009 TANK WAS A REPLACEMENT FOR A 2005 TANK, SAME WINNEBAGO #, THAT WAS INSTALLED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V113000 FOR A CRACKED WELD WITH LEAKING PROPANE.

2005 WINNEBAGO ADVENTURER. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE NORCOLD REFRIGERATOR IN HIS MOTORHOME HAS GONE OUT TWICE AND HE PAID TO HAVE IT FIXED. HE PHONED NORCOLD AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD REIMBURSE HIM. HE HAS NOT BEEN REIMBURSED YET. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED FROM THE DAY THE RV WAS PURCHASED, IT NEVER DID COOL THE WAY IT SHOULD HAVE. ON JULY 26, 2007 THE COOLING FANS WERE REPLACED. THE CONSUMER STATED THE SECOND TIME IT FAILED, AMMONIA WAS LEAKING FROM THE REAR OF THE UNIT AND WHEN HE TURNED IT ON PROPANE, IT MADE A POPPING SOUND, SO HE IMMEDIATELY SHUT THE PROPANE OFF AT THE MAIN TANK AND UNPLUGGED THE UNIT.*JB
