| Not sure where to put this. After packing and driving home from Spring Gulch Folk Fest I pulled in the yard and as I got out of the truck I heard beeping from my HTT. Thinking it was a low battery I opened the door and smelled gas. I immediately turned off the gas and aired the camper out. After a bit I went in thinking it was a issue with the fridge, turns out I bumped one of the stove controls during the packing, now all is well. |

I bumped mine once while camping. I just had a thought to put check cooktop on my departure checklist. This could have ended badly if the waterheater or fridge ignighter had set it off. ------------- Sean, 2011 Rpod RP-173,2009 Jeep Liberty Rocky Mountain Edition

When traveling you should always turn off your gas. The fridge can run on 12v when traveling. It is a lot safer to have it turned off. Just a little traveling suggestion.

| One of our cats turned on our gas on the stove while we were on the road. We quickly learned to take the knobs off when they were back there! |

Quote: "110 or propane on my fridge" Unless you have a very old pod or some special setup your fridge should be able to select 12VDC, Propane, or 110VAC. Which pod model and year do you have? ------------- Charlie Northern Colorado OLD: 2013 RP-172, 2010 Honda Pilot 3.5L 4WD PRESENT: 2014 Camplite 21RBS, 2013 Supercharged Tacoma 4L V6 4WD |

Yak's cool. :-) There's actually quite a few people here that don't currently have pods, although I think Yak is the only one that never owned one. Many fridge models only have propane or 120 as the available modes. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual
