| Description of the problem | Current issue and past problems with the propane system. On my 2015 winnebago era. It continues to vent entire propane tank inspit of three prior attempts by winnabago dealers efforts to fix problem. *bf after i finally got my vehicle in august 18. I used it on a four day trip to see the eclipse. Since then i have taken it for a ride twice a month and i ran the generator three times, as instructions dictate. Propane tank showed nearly full three weeks ago. Last week i smelt propane gas coming from under the vehicle in my drive way. As a volunteer fireman i was concerned about ignition at the source so i cleared the area. After a few hours there is no more sign or smell of propane, however, the system panel shows the propane tank is empty. Even though the service shut-off valve was closed. This is the third time i have had an issue with the propane system 1) recall, 2) the last propane system blow out while camping, 10 weeks ago and 3) now.
