Here's a photo of the trailer. I live in a nearby town.
It sounds as if the two other children will make a full recovery, but I can't imagine how they will deal with the loss.
The family was living in this trailer, and as you can see it was not the most modern arrangement. I'm sure the overhead vents weren't open because there are tarps on the roof. It also looks as if all the windows have insulation stuffed against them, so probably no open windows either. The area under the hitch is covered, and according to the paper: The generator “was outside, under the overhang of the camper with the exhaust pointing underneath the camper,’’ The area under the overhang was surrounded by a tarp, which may have helped hold the gas near the trailer.
