'The older Safari Motor Coaches were not built with an LP detector. I found that
strange as my other motorhome did have one. Today, I talked to a Safari owner
who had a problem with his older water heater and had it repaired. Apparently
when it was repaired, a gas connection was not tight. The gas leaked into the
water compartment and when the water tank asked for heat, they got a lot of it.
It didn't cause the coach to burn down, but they had a large explosion blowing
the cabinet door off. They were both lucky and were able to get out without
being hurt badly. Detectors in the compartments would have saved the day on
that one.
I have a new (99) Panther and the only gas I use is on the stove top and fridge.
I also have a detector by the door. Maybe I need to look into a detector below
the fridge..??
