DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE TRAILER THERE WAS AN OUTSIDE SAFETY LIGHT WHICH WAS INSTALLED ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE DOOR; NOT PROVIDING THE APPROPRIATE ILLUMINATION FOR VISIBILITY. THE CONTACT HAS OBSERVED MANY OTHER TRAILERS CONSTRUCTED THIS WAY WHICH CAUSED A PERSON TO FALL GETTING OUT OF THE TRAILER DUE TO THE LACK OF VISIBILITY.

IF NO DAMAGE TO THE LINE IS PRESENT AND THE LPG LINE IS THE APPROPRIATE LENGTH AND ROUTED CORRECTLY, THE COVER WILL BE REINSTALLED AND NO FURTHER ACTION WILL BE TAKEN. IF AN EXCESS OF HOSE IS CAUSING CONTACT OR CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE BURNER COVER, OWNERS SHOULD SHUT OFF THE SUPPLY OF GAS AT THE LPG TANKS AND CONTACT MONACO IMMEDIATELY.
