Some of us with early pods hit a batch of bad regulators that pinged under heavy load.  As kymooses said, they are cheaply made just like everything else today.

They are pretty cheap regulators.  Ours failed after a much longer time, 4 years, but some need new ones much sooner.  Just the nature of the things.

I have a 2014 178, this weekend dry camped and smell propane around the regulator, plus with all appliance shut off hear a hiss. All connections are tight. I am taking it to the dealer to handle a number of warranty issues. The regulator looks cheap. Anybody else have this problem?

Thanks
Dan
