In my experience/s - RV fires -causing complete loss of the RV - are/were mostly caused by two things:
Engine - including fuel and electrical fires.
And -
Propane fueled fires - whether due to a leak, or refrigerator failures.
The amount of fire produced by an RV fire -due to the fuel carried- most likely won't harm a bridge or underpass, etc.
Should add - rapid and complete destruction of the RV is usually the result.
The duration and intensity of the fire -as compared to a tanker- is limited. The fuel carried and often the RV itself are gone rapidly.
Gasoline tankers involved in accidents can provide serious/major hazards to life and property - in spite of the safety devices to avert same.
Lots of fuel.
Be safe - with *your* equipment & vehicles - and be aware of those in your surroundings.

Thanks for the input, I just have not seen/noticed any "news worthy" stories regarding RV's and propane fires! Always thought rapid and complete destruction by fire in RV's is due to their construction and materials used! Nothing comes to mind regarding airstream?
