They need to be carried in an open environment. They have pressure relief valves that will go off should they become overheated .
I often wondered just how hot it has to be in that compartment for the pressure relief valve to go off,does anyone know?
I have no idea but when my brother's trailer caught on fire he had a couple of them vent. No explosions. The explosion in the video was actually the fridge popping. The fire started in the fridge area. It was one of the recalled Dometics but the recall had been done on it. Not really sure what happened.

So the answer to the question is they vent somewhere between ambient temp and when immersed in flames :)
