The propane tanks are on both sides of the solar controller. The smoke sensors did not alarm and 3 people were in the RV at the time of the incident. -The fire could have burned (seriously or fatally) the occupants, caused smoke inhalation injuries/death, caused the propane tanks to explode, injured other campers, as well as damaged other property. -The problem has been reported to the manufacturer on July 13, 2021; however, it has not been acknowledged as reproduced or confirmed. -We have attempted to arrange for an inspection; however, the manufacturer has not been able to locate a dealer or servicing agent to do so. To date................NO INSPECTION OR SCHEDULED INSPECTION!!! We are still in contact with Heartland. So far, we are told August or September?
