Even static electricity from walking across the carpet can set it off. It looks like they were set up to stay since slide outs are out. Just glad no one was hurt. I am sure that could put a damper on someone's fun.

I bet a blast like that pushed the slides out's out, heck there is not much left of that motor home. Scary stuff to have happen.

Texas Tenderheart Posts: 6715 Location: Red Raiderland	dawnb - 2013-11-24 9:11 AM I wonder if the dogs can hear after being in the explosion? I was wondering the same thing. I saw somewhere else that a man was in there with them. I wonder if anyone can confirm that? Edited by Kaycee 2013-11-24 10:30 AM

Extreme Veteran Posts: 302	I had problems with my fridge this year and the smell of propane inside. My deterctor never went off. I had all my lines checked and everything was good. It ended up being a very dirty burner or something with the fringe that made it smell like a propane leak. They replaced my detector and told me they should be replaced every five years because they go bad. Mine had the green light and looked like it was working but obviously it wasn't. I had no idea they recommended replacing them every 5 years.
