Quick story to pass on. Last summer, traveling from California to Tennessee. We stopped for the night in Amarillo, TX. We had full hookups and forgot to turn the LP off while the refrigerator was running on electricity. We left for dinner, leaving our 8 year old Brittany Spaniel inside. Apparently, she thought that there was something she wanted on the stove top. In the process of investigating, she turned on the gas burner. Upon our return from dinner, we opened the door to the RV and discovered it filled with LP gas. We turned off the gas and were able to retrieve the dog, opened the doors, windows, etc. We did not turn off the electricity since the 12v system would have tried to ignite the gas for the refrigerator. From now on, we remove the burner control knobs for the stove. We realize how lucky we were! Kindly share this story. This can easily happen again to someone else.
Thank you very much for giving all the correct information. I am approved state of florida safety trainer in the Propane & Natural gas industry and all the points you discussed on safety were spot on. NICE to see good safety video. Keep up the great work you share with all.
Another thing to think about. Some people use their stove, burners to help heat the RV. My friend had a patient that was retired, living in his parked RV. She noticed he had his stove running in the winter and warned him about the danger. He had been doing this for some years and poo-pooed her concern. She went back to his place at a later date and it had burned down with him in it. The neighbor came out and told her about it and how his screams were horrible and he couldn't get into it to help him.
He'll never forget or "unhear" it. We have a LOT of people in this county living in RV's in parks or in a relatives backyard.
Another issue is when someone is on oxygen and they smoke while it's on, or want to cook with it on. One year there were 3 fatal explosions in 2 weeks. We've had more than a few over the years of moving RV's catching fire. Glad you're warning about moving with the propane on.. It is a coin toss on whether it's going to go off or not. Connections are not THAT secure. Hoses crack.
Prayers up for the burn victims. Propane off unless needed, even when I'm stationary. As always, great reporting and safety tips guys!
A fuel link on the engine will do the same. My mom's exploded the same way . Flames and all.
Florida has addressed the seriousness of a propane leak leading to an explosion requiring all RV mechanics to be qualified by taking courses and passing proficiency tests. As a Certified RV mobile tech I am also registered and have passed the Master exam, however, not all RV techs have been qualified to service propane systems as we have many traveling techs who come here in the winter but are not tested, insured , or qualified. Always ask the rv tech your working with are they qualified to work on your propane system and have they taken a proficiency test.
You nailed the pronunciation of Peabody perfectly.
Oddly I put out a fire on the RV next to me just yesterday when there was a fire near the water heater.
MJ, I have lived in MA my entire life and you nailed the pronunciation of Peabody.
It is sad to see that they lost their coach just before a trip of a lifetime. That flame that shot out from the back of the RV looks a lot like a propane fireball. I would guess that they were trying to cool down the fridge before they hit the road and it would appear that the flame went out and caused a leak. Not sure how a propane fridge works but I would gather they have a thermocouple that would shut the valve off in the case of flame loss. If one of the copper lines was leaking under the RV and they had the fridge running that could be a possibility of the explosion. No matter how it happened it just shows that systems should be checked regularly and more especially before use.
Always travel with your propane off. Anything I have with propane, a grill, camp stove, or RV the valve is always off when not in use. I don't trust the mechanical connections to never leak. I always assume that a leak is possible no matter how new or old things are. One easy way to check for leaks is with a bubble solution on every fitting in the propane system.
Propane leaking is nothing to fool around with!! Glad to hear no serious injuries!!
You pronounced it absolutely correct!!
I live in AZ and I have always driven with Propane on to keep the fridge cold. It is the very reason I converted to a 12V fridge this past year. Turing off the propane caused the fridge to get too hot and things would spoil. Now, with the 12V fridge, it even keeps ice cream cold and hard and no propane to worry about until I am stopped and setup.
Thank you guys for taking the time to help others. What a tragedy. Hope those families heal quickly. Horrible.
I thought about this when I got my RV. Mine is all electric with a 6kW battery. There are issues when boondocking, but otherwise one less tank to fill/service and no explosion risk.
Haha, I noticed this happenned in Peabody and thought oh boy, will they say it correctly and indeed you are saying it correctly. I used to work in Peabody.
We need to remember..... Our RV is a earthquake driving down the road. Screws, panel's, bolts,lug nuts, and
gas lines can work loose over time.
There is also chances of electrical shock, water leaks, propane leaks, frame, axle, leaf spring braking. So inspect
Your RV before and after every trip.
LP monitors are critical to install in any enclosed space. The gas stop valves are a very inexpensive safety feature to have in your RV. Shutting off gas sources in an RV are no different than in your standard home (but more critical when on the road). LPG has an odor from Ethyl Mercaptan. Many describe the smell as rotten eggs or sometimes rotten cabbage. Do not ignore such a smell. Do not have open flames next to the propane other than in the controlled setting of the stove gas orifice. Last safety sugggestion is to check all gas connections yearly. Your RV endures many bumpy roads and therefore is susceptible to connections becoming loose. This loosening of connections becomes a safety matter when the gas system is involved. Simple and inexpensive safety precautions can save lives.
I'm glad I'm doing RV research before purchasing. I see so much propane everywhere I thought it was safer than gas?? I hadn't even thought about it yet. Thank you for your channel and be safe out there!
Our new RV (Brinkley Z3100) has a 12-volt fridge. Pros and cons for sure but the big pro is that we can turn our propane off when traveling and still keep everything ice cold.
Very serious topic and well done. I gotta say though, I couldn't stop watching your son in the reflection...lol Thanks guys!
LOL - me too.
Fairly new to RVing, I never gave it much thought in leaving the propane open while driving. Now my wife and I agree it’s best to just close the valve when we’re going on the road. It just takes a minute and worthwhile imo. Everyone be safe 👍
I have an older motorhome 2002. I do drive with propane on to keep refrigerator on. Before you say it I know things will stay cold for several hours if you leave the door closed. But traveling with young kids that is almost impossible to do. I do check all the gas lines about 3 times a year for leaks and repair any if found. Safe travels and fair weather everyone.
I always turn propane OFF. Fridge is 12V. Propane is only on when in use, and parked
I’ve had many RVs since the 80s. The 1999 Bounder 36’ Class A had a propane detector connected to a gas solenoid. When the alarm activated, it shut off the gas flow. I’ve not had an RV with that feature since, including our 2023 Class C we now have. I only traveled with propane on when we had a travel trailer to keep the fridge cold. All my other RVs had fridges that could run on electrical power, and didn’t need the propane on while traveling.
Excellent video! That's another reason why on the Country Coach I'm going to getting this year, going back and forth between "All Electric" or with a propane stove. After this video leaning more back to an "All Electric" coach. Thanks again.
I have propane to heat my cabin. I've had leaks the last 2 winters. One detector has failed to alarm each time. Two is one, one is none applies to propane detectors, too.
Great reminder to check the propane tester. I just lucked out from an accident. Somehow I hit my stove knob and it was open, I had left the propane on. A month later I was taking it for service and smelled propane. I went and checked the tank which had been full and it was now empty. I closed the valve and went to check the motorhome and found the knob on. Only thing that could have leaked it.
To be clear just because the detector alarm makes a nose doesn’t mean the detector works. If it makes noise it means the alarm works. They only are good for a specific number of years. Don’t assume that because the alarm works the sensors are good for LP leaks!
I am, and have always been, paranoid about propane. I would "pressure check" my system every spring. That's where you put a gauge on it and charge it with compressed air. Ya then watch the gauge for pressure dropping. If it drops, you have a leak. Connection points are the weak points. I now have an all electric RV.
I drove with my propane ON. The co-pilots job was to keep the driver properly Coffee'd (I had the stove rigged like a boat, so the pot stayed in place underway). Also, the Refer was only 120v or Gas, so Gas underway.) I got it new in 1972. (BTW my propane pigtails had flow limiters. You had to crack the valve to Prime the system or it would just shut off).
Jason looks like he was really working hard 😆
Thank you so much for these important videos and for your safety tips. You two are such treasures!
Some people call it ("porpane"). It is a valuable RV tool, but if not respected and checked...could be a danger. These folks are absolutely right. Please pressure-check your propane system. Endless RV has the right remedy.
Thank God I’ve never met anyone who calls it por-pane.
as always, your videos are very informative and educational for everyone, no matter if you've been rving for 30 years or 5 years. Thanks. Keep it up. My husband and I will continue to watch your videos Thanks, and God bless you.
I just sent you the dash cam video of horrible RV accident. On other news sites tons of comments said they did NOT see sway bars 😢 but I haven't heard if its true or not. Thanks for y'alls videos and Izzy your police service and MJ, love of animals. Hubby retired after 31 years with Asheville Police Department in NC. 💙🚔🐕
Cooking inside the rv has never been a concern for us. We cook outside with the good 'ole Coleman stove. To keep warm inside an rv take blankets, warm coats, etc. and a zero degree sleeping bag works perfectly.
Thanks guys I really appreciate your video content.
As a 30+ year Professional Firefighter /Fire Captain, it definitely looks like a propane leak that found an ignition source. Our new rig (as soon as we get it :))is all electric so one less worry for us.
@@captjim97 thanks for the feedback
What rig did you get?
Every flammable gas fire/explosion is a leak that ignites.
@@betterwithrum 2025 Entegra Accolade XL 37K
@@captjim97 Nice, congrats, and thank you for your service
I live in MA: so sorry to hear about this family's experience! I agree: it appears as though propane could be a factor. So sad! (P.s. Your pronunciation of Peabody was excellent! lol)
We turn the propane off for travel. The fridge essentially defrosts during the 3 hour drive. Not taking a chance.
Refrigerator does not work without propane when driving.
It does if it is 12v capable. Some are 3-way 110v/12v/Pr, others are 2-way 110v/Pr. I had a 3-way in my last camper and it worked great on 12v while driving.
It does if you own a motorhome with a generator! :)
Exactly why we don’t have propane. We saw this happen on the highway 20 years ago.
Omgosh! Horrible. That rig completely burned down. Hopefully 🙏 they all recover quickly.
Definitely looks like a gas explosion. Based on the age of the RV I’m guessing there was neither a working gas detector nor an updated tank with an excessive flow valve.
Unfortunately some of us have to travel with the propane on, because that is the only way my fridge works. I am in a truck camper and have no room for an extra cooler. Do I like it? NO! As soon as I can, I will trade up. The new campers have 12v fridges.
12 volt is awesome until you run out.
Your saying it correctly 😀
That is sooo scary! If they were prepping for a trip they may have had the propane on to pre-cool the fridge . . A bad (hot or slightly exposed) wire near that tank could be an ignition source. But yes, when you see them cart the unit away the bulk of explosion damage was where the underbody propane tank was.
In my earlier days I did run with my propane on . . Until I saw a few vids about units exploding on the road . Never again did I! Way too risky.
As a homeless advocate, I was called to an RV fire at a gas station. What caused the fire is the DYI gas pump they used. They lost everything!
My first RV I bought (I was definitely not experienced and didn't know what to check for), I bought from a local person
They had changed the fridge from an RV fridge to a residential fridge
Do you think they capped off the propane line that used to go to the fridge? Of course he didn't He bent the gas line and duct taped it
Not only did I never use the propane in that trailer, I gave the 2 tanks to a friend to use so the full tanks wouldn't just be sitting there
Luckily I did that because that winter, there was an electrical fire started from faulty wiring in the bedroom (we were not home) and it completely gutted out the entire inside
We would never leave the propane on while driving. The fridge if it is full and cold before and you don't get into it then it will stay cold. As for a major reason we wouldn't we bought a used 1998 Mini Winnie and some of the parts in it had been sold by the sorry daughter and her boyfriend who stole from her dad in Washington state. They decided to abandon it Arkansas and when the guy who went to get it from the park discovered it ran well they took it to their business. He contacted the owner and it just wasn't worth it for him to pay to get it back across country and suggested they sell it. We went to a couple of salvage yards looking and 90% of the RVs there had been burned and it was easy to tell is was in areas where the propane would have been used.
Also, check the age of your propane leak detector. I believe they age out at 7 years, at which point they must be replaced.
So many valid safety tips. Fire legit scares me. Turning propane off is on my underway checklist--I'll run the reefer the day prior to get it cold and we only travel 4-5 hours so it holds. I've also added an additional 4 extinguishers to my RV from the 1 that came mounted near the door (not that it would've helped in that situation from what I saw). Be safe out there!!!
Off topic, but the finish on Nellie is AMAZING!!! Good reflection of Jason looking like he was so ready for you guys to be done recording....lol
Thank you both. We drive with propane off and maybe overkill but we shut it off at night unless using the heater. Hi to Jason.
Thank you.👋🙂,
Yes, I saw this clip on the news. I live in Massachusetts. I'm impressed you giys seen it. I believe it was propane as well. Thanks again. 😁👍
So sad! 😢 thx for the info and the tips on safety 👍 we drive with propane off
Very scary !! Check constantly! Hi Jason, see you in that shiny paint 👋😊
I elimanted the tri powered fridge and water heater due to the carbon monoxide issues with the comparment seals. Buy removing the fridge i noticed at least 3 issues that would be maintence nitemares that would be deadly. Some systems need to be electric, just for safety
We always drive with propane off. On our rig the propane is underneath the underbelly so damage is possible.
Sorry guys, we drive with propane on to keep the fridge working and cooling. Not going to run the generator for that purpose on a drive of any duration. I do shut the fridge off when refueling.
Same here. I tried shutting it off a couple times. In a hot summer travel day the refrigerator never catches up. We dumped everything that could spoil, and replaced.
The key is to regularly inspect lines and make sure the propane leaks detector is good.
In a crash the propane is the least of concerns. There isn’t much propane in the lines to begin with, and the excessive flow valve shuts down all but a trickle in the event of a leak. Plumbing for gas tanks and lines to generators are much more of an issue.
You said it correctly.
Thanks
That is the correct way to say that town
Wow , so sad !
If the tanks were overfilled, the pressure relief valve blows towards the RV. This seems to me backwards. For example, Hydrogen busses vent away from the vehicle. But the opening in the propane valve cage is for people’s hands to operate the valve. Mounting the tank valve inwards, vent outwards may make sense, but awkward
On that note of venting, what about the warm temperatures outside causing a tank to vent. We live in Alaska. A man brought his propane tank into the house during the winter. When it warmed up, the tank vented and something in the home ignited the propane. The man was severly burned. This RV explosion reminded me of that.
Excellent video. I have a manometer for other purposes, but they are not that expensive. Whenever I do the roof inspection (twice a year) I like to spend an extra minute and leak test the propane system.
You said Peabody exactly right!
This is HORRIBLE. Prayers.
100% propane. And you guys have a Happy 4th of July weekend.😎🤘🏻🎇🍻🫶🏼
Very few RV's have a propane detector. I'm on my 4th trailer and the newest and whilemit has a carbon monoxide detector, it does not have a propane detector.
As inefficient as our absorption fridge is, it will still keep things chilled/frozen during a 3-4 hour trip. When we get to our destination it either gets plugged in or the propane is turned on.
Just like you can buy a moisture detector to find leaks in and around your RV for $26, you should always have a propane wand/detector in your RV Kit...always check in and around your RV for leaks, don't leave it up to the detector, even though they are a great tool, once a year or after a LONG bouncy drive you should make sure you have no leaks...it only takes a few minutes to do. Stay safe out there.
Thank you Izzy and MJ for telling the news and warning us against this happening. It’s sad that this had to happen. I saw an Fleetwoods Bounder for sale up at the corner for sake by my house. I don’t know safe it would to have an older Fleetwoods that’s at least 20 years or more would be. The Fleetwood we rented we didn’t use the propane at all. Just the microwave. We only brought food that needed heating up. We played it safe. If wanted to cook out we wouldn’t have used the campgrounds grill or our own we brought. But we were fine. Glad the family survived but sorry they got burns. Very sad. Thank you Izzy and MJ! Hope you had a great 4th of July! 🎉🎇🇺🇸
Yes, you said Peabody correctly!
This is scary!
Note the dude in shorts lounging. Reflection in your RV side! 😂
That's our son. He was relaxing while we filmed lol
It was just about a month ago I watched on the news a Van camper caught on tape explode Not even flames Just pieces everywhere 10 Or 15lb propane bottle was the only source to be the cause No one was in the Van at the time thankfully.
I say if you must have propane use smaller bottles And yes they can do damage too But might save a life. Personally i have a SUV with a bed And a coleman camping fuel single burner stove If i was to get into more than a weekend of camping / long travel I would get a induction stove A wood burning mini cub stove And a Diesel heater I'm really not a big fan of compressed gases
oh my goodness how scary
Yikes! Very dangerous, I pray that all involved survive and don't have significant burns. Our previous coach had onboard propane, we always turned it off when traveling. The current Dutch Star coach is all electric, however we do carry a propane tank for a grill. It is always turned off when not in use and I check it frequently to be sure it isn't leaking. The propane industry adds a scent to the gas, which otherwise has no smell, you can usually quickly detect when there is a leak just by smelling it, but a soap bubble test around fittings is always a good idea.
Oh, and your pronunciation of "Peabody" is spot on, MJ! Surprising for a Jersey girl!
lol Thanks Wes!
Cool !
I have mixed opinions on GasStop valves. They will shut off a major leak like a torn hose but not a slow leak that would be your most common cause of an explosion. They are useful when all appliances are off, turn off your propane, if the gage slowly goes down you have a slow leak.
We put one on for each tank & had issues with it. That was 3 months ago so can’t remember exactly what the issue was.
They leak from the guage. One of two of ours are bad. They also shut the gas off is you open the valve too quickly.@@Elizabeth-rq1vi
Bear in mind all modern propane tanks already have an excessive flow limiter that all but shuts down flow when pressure is lost.
Yes I am aware. GasStop at a rally we were at portrayed their product as a way to shut off the propane flow if propane was being used while traveling and you were in a significant accident with lines being cut.
Wow. That is very scary. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yes, you said Peabody the correct way.
We had one blow here in Quartzsite/ It was a motorhome that got hot going down the road and the over pressure valve opened . They pulled into a propane selling lot and when the electric steps came down, Boom. There were many fire extinguishers about so They got the fire out. HOWEVER- when told to move to the shade, they shut the door and the steps closed and poof off again and not an extinguisher in sight.. They all got out, but the unit was lost.
I read that work was being done on the RV. While it might have been the propane it may not have occurred due to normal use but the result of something they were doing.
Thanks for sharing! Drive with propane off!!
They were lucky. That thing was gutted. I'm guessing propane as well. Personally not a fan of propane, but definitely check for leaks often. Take care guys 😊.
Wow,,,horrible
Holy cow !! that was crazy. Like you said, lucky it wasn't worse. Looks like Jason was taking a nap.. LOL. that mirror like finish !!
@@Tom.and.Missy.Northam yea that’s Jason!!
Only the lighter side (pun not intended) my propane detector went off after knocked over a decent amount of alcohol on the floor near the sensor. It picked up the fumes.
At least you know it works !!
Wow god bless
HEY, who is your guest star you forgot to mention them . I carry handheld sniffer
I left Daytona Beach to Rochester New York everything in the freezer was still frozen in the refrigerator was cold no need to have the propane on
Prayers for the burn victims. A tidbit for you. Even when our propane has been cut off at the tank, our sensor has gone off. Absolutely no propane was on at all. We have been told that just because your RV is brand new does NOT mean that your sensor is brand new. They pick those things up off the shelf and install them. They may have been setting on the shelf for a year or so. Propane off while driving. We don't even stove or oven cook either. When we were cooking on it, we were going thru way too much propane. We bough an electric stove burner and air fryer oven and crock pot and steamer. We do just fine with out it. Why pay double to cook? Only use electricity. Only time we turn the propane on is when I'm taking a shower. Otherwise the electric water heater is on. During the winter in Mississippi, we didn't even run the propane heater. Didn't need it. Only had electric heaters inside and stayed nice and comfy. Now in South Dakota, we had to run all the heat we had. So, yes we did run the propane heater up there.
Thanks for sharing.
Where was the gas absorption fridge ?were they level ?
Thankfully they will be ok. BTW, is that Jason supervising in the lawn chair?
@@pamphillips9428 yes it is
The flame totally flashed through the gas cloud that was also outside the motor home.
Your RV is like a mirror. There is a dude sitting in a chair in front of you.
Yep lol that’s our son
Not only do we NOT drive with the propane on, we do NOT leave it on at all when connected to shore power. We Electric cook for stove top meals and for oven meals or Microwave. Our propane works great, our propane stove top and oven works great.... but for us it's simply a minor additional precautionary measure on our part. We have been RVING for over 30 years PT and our current Motorcoach has a great Generator (not propane) so we do have electricity even when we are away from any shore power.
On these old rv the rubber fuel hoses need/ should be replaced. They become so hard and brittle as the age.
I use a propane pen tester and I test every time we use the Rv
So sad. I pray they’re all ok.
@@CarrieLaCubana agree
.You have got to be kidding me! anybody who has an RV should know this. its bacic comon sense!!
LOL you'd think so wouldn't you. The things I've see people do in/with their RV's and their boats boggles my mind. It's the more money than brains syndrome.
