Warning on Thetford Triplex Plus Oven/Grill Cooker (Fitted to Some Jayco Vans)

Thetford Triplex Plus Oven/Grill Cooker

Thetford Triplex Plus cookers were fitted into Jayco vans nationally.  See; http://www.commerce.wa.gov.au/energysafety/unsafe-and-dangerous-gas-appliances 

Identification

Selected Jayco chassis numbers between R81942 up to S81151.

Safety risks

The gas control valve may be misaligned and the valve may stick open. If the defect is present there is a risk of gas building up into the appliance when not lit and this may lead to a possible explosion within the oven.

Further information

and of course Thetford immediately notified Jayco and they both published a warning advert in all the State papers (haven't seen one on the 2 on-line papers I read). Jayco immediately notified all its Dealers who wrote to all the buyers of the RV's affected - not !!!!

An oven explosion in an RV would likely cause injury to the occupants given how much smaller the space inside is, compared to a gas oven in a house.

Guess it shows how much Thetford and Jayco care................

Phew! Mine is a Thetford "Caprice MK111) and not in a Jayco.

However, I wonder if that model stove has been fitted to any other make vans or similar confuse

 Good to hear mate, they do have some gorgeous physios. My permanent bloke was butt ugly and hurt me like mad. Alas he knew what he was doing, thus I walk without a limp. 

Take ken care mate and stay excited as Billeeeeee would say.
