Some will claim this can never happen as there are too many safety features built into the ACME Type-1 nut and the tank valve but it happened to me. :E



This was on our 2007 RVision TrailCruiser C21RBH hybrid which was in it's second season. The plastic nut cracked on one of the pigtails, the other one actually melted. I replaced both pigtails with new ones and they failed not long after as well. Fed up, I then replaced both again but this time with P.O.L. versions and never had an issue after that. We've owned several trailers since that time, all have had the plastic ACME Type-1 connectors, and I've never had this problem repeated so I can only assume it was a bad production run. I wouldn't have believed it was possible if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes.
