I have no idea the rate of lp related fires per rv crash but I'd bet it's pretty rare. Maybe a "safety expert" or "crash engineer" will chime in. Seems like there's an abundance of "experts" on the forum.
I think you are on the money. On the other hand, as you observe, we probably have one, or two?, "safety experts" or "safety engineers" that can chime in and "set us straight"? Javi, I know you are an engineer and appreciate that...not one word of this post has anything to do with you....I appreciate you so just tune this out.
