The dometic rm7732 refrigerator in my rv failed and the ammonia leaked out while the vehicle was occupied. We quickly evacuated the vehicle before we were overcome by the fumes. Fortunately we were not running the unit on gas or there would have been a fire. This is a very dangerous unit and should be recalled.
