Just saw this article in the local news rag: http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/mesa/breaking/2015/09/25/fire-rv-dealership-mesa/72833650/. In reading it, it really makes me wonder why a worker was having to drill =anything= on a new RV being readied for delivery. Hmmmm, could it be that most RVs leave the factory with half-a$$ed quality control? Yes, the guy f'ed up by leaving the propane on, but what was so FUBAR that required him drilling near a propane line in the first place? I =really= hope someone figures out what went wrong and why.Lyle

Maybe the customer requested a remote propane hook-up for his grill?Bill

More to the point, the article said HE DRILLED INTO THE PROPANE LINE BY MISTAKE. What type of mechanics are they hiring that can't tell what a propane line looks like on an RV, I mean it's the ONLY steel line there!!!!

Some people just don't think before they act.

Probably an avoidable mistake, but aren't they all! Poor guy, burns are the worst.
