I wanted to alert other Starcraft owners to a potential problem...

We have a 2001 Travelstar 17FK. It has the external stovetop that is fed by a
flexible gas line that stows in the side of the camper when not in use. Last
week while camping, after I pulled the hose out and connected it, we smelled gas
INSIDE the camper after opening one of the cabinet doors.

A quick look under the cabinet showed what had happened. The flexible gas line
was attached to the copper gas line with an adapter, but neither the flexible
line or the adapter were rigidly mounted to anything... and the last couple of
inches of the copper gas line were completely unsupported! Every time I had
been pulling out or re-stowing the flexible gas line, it was bending the copper
gas line - until it folded over and developed a pinhole leak. One more time,
and the copper gas tubing could have snapped off completely, which could have
had catastrophic results.

I would strongly advise other Starcraft owners with external stovetops, to check
the flexible gas line to copper gas line connection inside the camper, and look
for any signs of flexing damage to the copper gas tubing.

I am going to try contacting Starcraft tomorrow (Monday), to see what can be
done about the problem.
