I worry more about the propane reefer then a stove propane leak/fire. Both major RV fridge brands, Norcold and Dometic, have cost reduced their product so much that the coolant tubing is suspect and has failed on many RVs. ARP sells their $150 shut down device but that is only a band aid for the crappy materials used and really wont stop a fire in the event of a tube failure while driving down the highway since all it really is is a shut down device on overheat, not tube failuer and leaks.

I'm currently researching fire extinguishers to add to the back of our fridge. So far, I've only found 3 that may work:
- Proteng - which I'm not enthused with. It is a poly tube with a HALON type material (CAG)
- SS-30 Halon Extinguisher
- Fireboy System which is a marine system but is similar to the SS-30
