I JUST DISCOVERED THIS YESTERDAY NOV 1, 2011 WHILE LOOKING FOR THE REASON THE GAS TO THE STOVE WAS SHUTTING DOWN WHILE THE SLIDE WAS RETRACTED.  WHAT I FOUND WAS THE GAS LINE PINCHED AT A 180 DEGREE ANGLE, FOLDED BACK ON ITSELF.  WHEN THE SLIDE-OUT IS EXTENDED THE GAS LINE STRAIGHTENS ENOUGH TO ALLOW GAS TO FLOW.  WHEN THE SLIDE-OUT IS DRAWN BACK IN TO MOVE THE MOTORHOME, THE GAS LINE IS FOLDED AND PINCHED CLOSED.  I INSPECTED THE GAS LINE AT THE FOLD/PINCH POINT AND DISCOVERED A CRACK ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE HIGH PRESSURE RUBBER TUBING.  THE SLIDE-OUT HAS BEEN MOVED, IN AND OUT, APPROXIMATELY 100 TIMES SINCE PURCHASING NEW IN SEPTEMBER 2002.  THE SMALLEST HOLE IN THIS LINE WOULD PRODUCE A MAJOR LEAK RESULTING IN POSSIBLE EXPLOSION WITH SEVERE BODILY BURNS OR DEATH.  I CONTACTED RON ROFF IN CUSTOMER SUPPORT AT THE FORREST RIVER FACTORY AND HE SEEMED LESS THAN CONCERNED, TELLING ME NOT TO WORRY, THE GAS ALARM WOULD SOUND IF A LEAK SHOULD DEVELOP AT THE CRACKED AREA.  AND HIS POSITION, ACTING IN BEHALF OF THE COMPANY, IS TO SEND ME A NEW HOSE, CASE CLOSED.  THIS REPAIR/REPLACEMENT NEEDS SPECIAL TOOLS, QUALIFIED UNDERSTANDING OF CONNECTING GAS LINES AND HOW THE GAS LINE SHOULD BE PLACED BENEATH THE SLIDE-OUT FLOOR SO THIS PROBLEM WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.  ALSO, THE SLIDE-OUT HAS TO BE LIFTED TO MAKE THE CONNECTIONS UNDER THE FLOOR OF THE SLIDE-OUT.   I'M SURE THERE ARE MANY OTHER SIMILAR SITUATIONS WITH FREELAND SLIDE-OUT MODELS.  I SURE HOPE THESE DEFECTS ARE CORRECTED BEFORE SOMEONE IS BLOWN UP AND DIES.  I TURNED MY GAS TANK OFF AND AM TAKING IT TO A RV DEALER.   I WISH I COULD MAKE THE REPAIRS MYSELF BUT IT IS BEYOND MY CAPABILITY.
