The two schools of thought and a 3rd option
The AEON insurance school, which by the way I attended. (It is offered at many FMCA rallies)
Turn it off because in an accident there is a teeny tiney chance of a propane fueled fire. Ok, I will admit that is a danger... BUT
The other school.. The danger is not that great and if a propane line is breached there is an excess flow device that will limit or cut off propane flow.
My Theory
The biggest propane danger is what is called a Fridge Fire.. I check my mirrors often and if it catches fire .. I'm bailing fast and grabbing 25 pounds of powder on the way out.. (yup I have that) or a can of foam or both.
But imagine this.. I'm on my way to said FMCA rally.. Fridge fire on teh freeway.> The guy behind me in the multi million Prevost honks and hollers as he passes ON THE OTHER SIDE.. I look, pull off, My rig is history,, His, undamaged.
Ok, version 2
I turn off propane. Get to the rally and am parked next to said Multi-Million dollar Prevost.> Same fire.. by the time the FD gets there his, mine and likely one or two more are toast. I think my insurance agent would rather that did NOT happen.
