Eurovan

  • miles
While traveling forward at about 2 mph, the propane gas pressure regulator bracket caught a small rise on a public street. The gas pressure regulator bracket broke free of the vehicle and was forced backward into the propane storage tank. The propane storage tank ruptured and immediately exhausted about 15 pounds of propane. The propane tank obstructs the designated jacking point on the rear driver side of the vehicle. I placed the supplied jack as close to the jacking point as possible and proceeded to jack up the vehicle. The vehicle collapsed on the jack causing vehicle body damage. I had just removed my hand from under the vehicle while retrieving the pressure regulator bracket. Upon investigation I discovered that winnebago had failed to supply a replacement jack as dictated in the volkswagon owners manual.
