What are the defects?

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a colourless, highly flammable gas that may leak and build up inside the camper.

The gas appliances have not been installed in accordance with the gas safety standard for installation in caravans and boats for non-propulsive purposes:

  1. There is no gas escape hole installed for the cooker and refrigerator in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
  2. The ventilation system for the refrigerator has not been installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions.

What are the hazards?

In the event of an LPG gas leak, unburnt gas could build up in the refrigerator rear cavity that could result in a fire, which could cause serious illness, injury or death.

What should consumers do?

Consumers should stop using all gas appliances immediately and contact the manufacturer and arrange for inspection/rectification of the gas installation.
