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.

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!

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? |

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.
