Propane Tank @ Camping World Store - threads stripped!
Stopped at a Camping World this afternoon, and before I could get out of the coach, an employee had the hose attached and tried to fill my on-board propane bottle. All kinds of hissing off to the side of the connection, so he unscrews it, says that it may be cross threaded, then tries again with a good screw-down fit Well, more hissing and loss of propane from hose. I ask him to reconnect 3rd try, after we both inspect the brass threads to see the starting point brass is sheared off, and same thing - loss of propane out the hose from the supply tank at Camping World Store.
The last time I got propane, the connection worked fine! So, does this indicate that maybe the guy today messed it up by cross-threading it? He did in fact connect it once, then backed off and reconnected it before terming my orifice as damaged.
So, I said I'll come back in the morning to have the service dept. R & R a new brass orifice on my propane tank.
What am I looking at in price/cost in terms of dollars?
Should I approach the General Manager at the Camping World with this issue, after getting the work started on the R & R?
Just want to be fair here, is all.
