I always look at the pictures of burn RVs and you can get pretty good guess what happen.
Modern RV are build with materials who will smolder, but will not make hot flames.
Lot of pictures ( I posted few just weeks ago) of refrigerator fires, who will consume side and ceiling above refrigerators, but seems either they die on their own, or are easy to extinguish.
It takes propane piping rupture to start big flames, who will generate hot fire blowing tanks and results that you can see on the picture.
Few youtube pictures show that Fire engines are not even coming close to hot RV fires in fear of tank and tires blows. They just let it burn.
Bottom line, I always had fridge operating on 12V in motorhomes and propane off at the tank.
Now with TC supplying 12V power via original wiring is not adequate and that is why we have topic's modifications.
