Gas explosions in RV's and mobile homes are unfortunately not rare at all.

No, they are not.

It does not help that, as my brother-in-law found out the hard way, one of the effects of being exposed to the gas is that you become groggy and lose judgement. He's luckily still alive, but with serious scarring on about 1/3 of his body.

Therefore develop good habits. Be religious about it. It is only the fact that it IS a habit which will cause you to do the right thing when you need to and have impaired judgement.




Ai. I feel for your brother in law, I have had a very extensive 2nd degree burn (right arm, most of my back), no pigmentation there whatsoever which leads to the occasional weird look. Burns are bad.

I forgot to add one more thing in the list, which is that gas will pool at the bottom of enclosed spaces and it can blow up on you even when you think there is none.
