Jayco has manufactured this trailer with a 176lb hot water heater that is sitting on a rubber propane line which is sitting on a pex water line that has two metal crimps touching the propane line. The weight of the water heater causes the propane line to get crushed and the constant vibrations of a trailer moving down the road can cause the metal crimps to wear through the propane line resulting in propane leaks, fires, and other risks. I will attach a photo highlighting the concern.
