I need to question the design engineers at Grand Design!!! Who in their right mind suspends a gas line directly above the leaf spring assembly on an RV. If you have a 390RK-R I would take a close look at the gas line running to the kitchen. The gas line is inches away from the supports for the leaf springs and if you hit a big enough bump in the road your gas line may get pinched in the process. Moving said gas line a few inches over would have alleviated the potential, dangerous situation of a gas leak, but no it's directly above the hanger assembly. Now replacing said gas line is another engineering feat that has me scratching my head. On either end of the 18' line are two aluminum manifolds. Both have female threads milled directly into the aluminum block, the line that needs to be replaced has a male thread on each end. No swivel!!!!! No way to remove or replace said line without going back to the very end of the run and removing all the gas lines to the manifold, then unscrewing the manifold from the 18' gas line, remove the gas line, from the front manifold, then reassemble the entire gas system back to the fridge and stove.
This is our third life safety issue with our GD 390RK-R and as they say in the baseball world, three strikes and you're out. I'm not going to my wife's and my life in danger anymore from a poorly designed RV. Don't get me wrong, we loved the floor design of the RV, but I've run out of fingers counting the number of issues we've had over the past few years. And when our lives are put in danger due too; in my humble opinion, poor engineering we're done.
