A recent fire and explosion of an rv here in colorado is blamed on lp
appliances running in the rv.  Vapors from a spill were ignited and
destroyed it and another car as well as the pumps.  Fortunately everybody
made it out of the rv safely.

In many states it is not just a safety issue but a very heavy fine if caught
with lp running and fueling.

The other issue with the propane appliances is that sometimes the flames
gets sucked out and then you are running without cooling and don�t know it.
