Although this is a Dodge forum,I would like to warn people of a serious promblem I encounterd with a 1989 ford vanguard class C.My wife &I were traveling down the road when a noise started. It sounded like metal hitting the pavement under the M.H. I stopped and discovered the propane tank had let go on the front.This was a very serious problem as the tank was full and started venting.Who knows where we might be had a spark ignited the vent.This tank is mounted under the water tank.The bolts were cairrage bolts,NO washers and bolted only threw the plywood. There had been a leak so the moisture was saoked into the carpet and foam underlay. We just purchased this unit and it has 39000Kilometers on it.As the water tank sweats,or the fresh water fill leaks or moisture from any source gets in there it does not have any air to dry it.The plastic was still under the tank.please pass this info on to anybody you know who has a vanguard,class C.Mine is the all fibreglass body style. Thanks Bruce
