Problems with our Rialta

We bought our 1999 Rialta last year at La Mesa RV in San Diego. IT was used with 324 K miles on it. It has 2 twin beds and is a loaded vehicle which gets better gas mileage (~18mpg) than our Nissan Pathfinder (16mpg). We took it on a trip to Salt Lake City and in 2 days we noticed there was the smell of Propane gas around the vehicle. We still have the warranty on the vehicle and 2 other insurances we paid for in the event something should happen of this nature. A place in Sandy, Utah came and picked it up and found leaks in 3 different areas on the line and connecters! This could have been a deadly situation! We had this propane system checked shortly after buying the Rialta because the CO2 sensor kept going off. They (at La Mesa RV) checked it and said it was okay. Now I truly doubt they checked it as they said they did at all! None of our insurances will pay for the repairs because the leak was not caused by faulty or broken equipment. We were told, "It's your problem." So, the so called insurances were useless and we could've died because of the Rialta leaking propane gas! Make sure you have your propane system checked very closely for leaks!!!
