Engine and Engine Cooling · at 30,000 miles · reported May 27, 2014

We were driving down the freeway when we heard a loud "pop". I thought we might have blown a tire so I pulled over to investigate. The tires were fine.

Dt*: the contact stated, while routinely inspecting the undercarriage of the rv, three soft copper propane lines were noticed beside and above the inner passenger rear tire.
