Drive our RV to the beach. Every thing worked fine. Stopped and cut engine off while waiting for parking place to camp. When we cranked engine again to move it, it sounded like the engine had blown up. Spark plug had blown out of hole and broke the thing that was on top of spark plug. We were 244 miles from home with a RV on a Thanksgiving weekend. We have since been told that this is a frequent problem with your engine. We had never heard of this. It was repaired with a heli cord. Is this just a temporary fix? Can we trust this engine to get us there and back in the future?
