That's very unfortunate. A "parked RV" quite possibly could have had a propane leak, interior to the cabin. Plus source of ignition being the water heater pilot light, equals kaboom.

We had a defective LP valve on the external tank manifold on our Airstream. We came back from dinner in Tombstone AZ one evening to hear a loud HSSSSSS in the camp. Turns out it was our tanks, venting to atmosphere. Scary.

I hope they figure out what happened.

Metro’s saying it appears to be intentional.

Maybe if we play the record backwards...


I'd start rounding up hip-hop and rap artists.


Seriously, though, hopefully the miscreants behind this will be identified, captured or otherwise dealt with forthwith.
