Subject:Need on-the-road help -- propane valve stuck open?
From:Karena Prater
Date:Sun, 16 Sep 2007 20:57:11 -0700

Hi everyone,

We're currently on a maiden cross-country voyage in our '86 Westy with our
toddler and have just discovered that our propane valve does not appear to
be working at all -- i.e. the stove lights equally well with the valve
turned either on or off.  So I'm wondering if anyone can tell me:

1)  How serious is this as far as safety issues are concerned?  I'm not
noticing any smell *inside* the bus -- I noticed a slight smell outside the
bus before we left but we had it checked for leaks by an RV place and they
said that it was fine;

2)  If this is something we should get fixed immediately, can anyone
recommend a place in Denver?

I'm currently on the digest since we're on the road, so if replies could be
cc'd to my personal address that would be helpful.

Thanks so much!!!
