Fair and reasonable.

Not criticizing your preferences at all, but citing this doesn't provide any useful proof that an RV fridge caused any fire at a gas station. Part of the reason the issue is controversial is that things are inferred but not proven.

If evidence exists that shows RV fridges running on propane cause gas station fires, I've never seen it, and it's not from lack of looking.

Agreed, but I don't care to hijack this thread any longer. If ya'll would like to discuss this further, I suggest you start a new thread where we can have at it.

My apologies to the OP.
