Poorly trained attendants are bad enough. Saw a motorhome a few years back that had burned to the axles. Idiot did not turn off the fridge before filling up with propane.
Well .... :h .... doesn't that depend upon where the refrigerator is located in the RV in relation to where the propane tank is located? i.e. Suppose the refrigerator is on the other side and down at the far end from where the propane tank is?
Also .... thank heavens propane fumes are heavier than air so that they flow downwards away from refrigerator burner flames!
P.S. We just turn off the coach battery system's master switch whenever refueling the engine gasoline tank or the propane tank. This makes it impossible for propane igniters to light the gas.
