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 |

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. ------------- https://calendar.google.com/calendar?cid=cnBvZC5zcG90dGVyQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ - RPod Rallies https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1W1foQXGtrjf8aYly1uh0b-bHPfI&hl=en_US - RPod Owner Map |

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. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual
