Well, when you go to indoor RV shows, the Fire Marshall requires ALL ASME tanks be empty and the DOT Trailer tanks be removed(even if empty). Also the Fuel level must be BELOW 1/4 tank. So, if you have an ATTACHED Garage to your house and want to store your RV (Asme or DOT LP cylinders), there may be a requirement per local code prohibiting that. Now, lets say you DO have such a code and you go ahead and store your RV in violation of that code. You then have a catastrophe that involves the House/Garage and the RV and that LP tank causes a BIG problem when it either spews or explodes. You think your Insurance will pay if you violated a code? Probably not. Years ago, Monaco in Oregon had a bad fire in the service shop when a ASME tank regulator leaked and the LP caught on fire. AFTER that, Monaco had a policy of ALL LP tanks be shut OFF and locked down with a special lock when units were in for service. Doug
