Problem: Monaco is recalling 122 my 2006-2007 camelot and holiday rambler scepter class a motor homes. The rubber liquid propane (lp) hose on the back of the refrigerator may have extra length of hose. This extra hose should have been pulled back by the main house connection and secured. This extra hose potentially can be damaged by heat from the burner tube if the hose comes in contact with the burner flue.
Risk: If the hose is in contact with the burner flue for an extended period of time, the hose can melt causing an lp leak with the possibility of a fire.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the refrigerator compartment and for excess lp hose. If the hose is not damaged, it will be secured with a clamp away from the burner flue. If the hose shows any sign of melting or fatigue, it will be replaced free of charge. The recall began on march 20, 2008. Owners may contact monaco at 1-800-685-6545.

Fix: Dealers will install a heat shield between the hydrohot exhaust and the lp tank at no cost to you. The recall began on december 5, 2006. Owners may contact monaco at 1-800-685-6545.
