NHTSA Complaint #10611315 — 2014 TRAILMANOR TRAVEL TRAILER

I AM REQUESTING THAT DOT NHTSA INVESTIGATE THE REQUIREMENT FOR A SAFETY SWITCH TO MAKE THE LP GAS FURNACE INOPERABLE IN MY 2014 TRAILMANOR KS SPORT WHEN IN THE TRAVEL/STORAGE MODE. I FEEL IS A UNSAFE CONDITION WHEN THE RV IS IN THE TRAVEL/STORAGE MODE THAT MAY RESULT IN A FIRE. THIS MAY AFFECT OTHER TRAILMANOR MODELS USING A LP GAS FURNACE. NO INJURIES OR DAMAGE HAVE BEEN SUSTAINED. TRAILMANOR HAS A UNIQUE POP-UP DESIGN THAT COMPLETELY COVERS THE EXHAUST/INTAKE VENT, WHEN THE FRONT ROOF SECTION COMPLETELY LOWERED AND IN THE TRAVEL/STORAGE MODE. IF THE FURNACE THERMOSTAT WAS ON, AND THE GAS WAS ON IN THE, AN ELECTRICAL SIGNAL FROM THE THERMOSTAT WOULD START THE LP GAS FURNACE WITH NO WAY TO PROPERLY VENT THE HOT (FLAME) COMBUSTION. THE CERTIFIED CANADIAN STANDARDS ASSOCIATION (CSA) PROCEDURES FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THE FURNACE MUST HAVE A SAFETY SWITCH INSTALLED TO MAKE THE LP GAS FURNACE INOPERABLE WHEN THE EXHAUST/INTAKE ARE COVERED WHEN THE POP-UP IS IN THE TRAVEL/STORAGE MODE. REFERENCE: CAUTION: IN ANY INSTALLATION THAT HAS THE EXHAUST/INTAKE VENT COVERED OR THE MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO THE ROOM AIR GRILL REDUCED BY SOME SPECIAL FEATURE OF THE RV SUCH AS A SLIDE-OUT, POP-UP, ETC. IN THE TRAVEL OR STORAGE MODE, A SWITCH MUST BE INSTALLED TO INSURE UNIT IS INOPERABLE IN THIS MODE. IN THIS MANUAL. NO AGENT, REPRESENTATIVE OR EMPLOYEE OF SUBURBAN OR OTHER PERSON HAS THE AUTHORITY TO CHANGE, MODIFY OR WAIVE ANY PROVISION OF THE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL. I HAVE REMOVED THE FUSE TO MAKE THE FURNACE INOPERABLE AND SAFE UNTIL I GET THE SAFET SWITCH INSTALLED BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE.. *TR
