A little off subject -- we had a 02 VW Eurovan before the truck camper and when the service guy filled the integral propane tank, the mechanism that should have closed when he removed the fill hose wouldn't close so all the propane was escaping -- at a large gas station in rural northwest CT. We had to call 911 and had the fire trucks and state police -- they actually closed Route 7 and Route 4, major roads, until they dispersed the propane by directing fire hoses at our camper. The fire marshall requested that we send him the faulty part when we got it fixed. That's one reason that we prefer the truck camper to a Class B -- feel more secure with regular propane tanks which are higher up. In the VW, we were riding on top of the propane tank which wasn't very far off the ground.
