I think you're completely missing the point of my initial inquiry... or you have your tongue firmly planted in your cheek.Just look at how much you've gleaned from this thread alone, regarding how to tip-toe around the code.

We believe that the prohibition of “gasoline or other flammable vapors” is not gasoline tanks but gasoline vapors. Just as propane/acetylene tanks are allowed in a building with a solid fuel heater. The key is that these vapors are not released into the space.
DOT cylinders are mounted outside on trailer frame, Motorhomes have ASME tanks underneath, outside. An rv like 5th wheel or truck camper will have a ventilated compartment to the outdoors. Since LP vapor is heavier than air and drops readily, depending on cylinder size and compartment size, the bottom must be open. You also can’t have the regulator inside since the regulator is vented to the atmosphere. High pressure lines and high pressure regulator outside only. If the diaphragm is punctured the vapor leaks out of the vent hole. Low pressure standards are NFPA 54. High pressure NFPA 58.How can that be true when every camper, motor home, or 5th wheel rv stored inside has a propane tank in it?
I have had 4 different types of campers and not one had propane inside. They had either an exterior mounted tank or the tank was in a separate, ventilated compartment. In each of them, there was also a propane sensing alarm.How can that be true when every camper, motor home, or 5th wheel rv stored inside has a propane tank in it?

And those tanks are supposed to be removed when the RVs are stored inside. Some storage places require it others don't. But again simply because some people choose to ignore a regulation doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Or that there are not potential repercussions involved.In them, on them, whatever. Lots and lots of us store the RVs and their propane tanks inside buildings. There are also lots of commercial indoor storage buildings for the same.
The campers and 5th wheel guys have storage compartments that contain the propane tanks, trailers are out on the tongue usually but not always. Regardless. There's a tank.
I don't think this has anything to do with the thread topic but I suppose it's a dead thread anyway.

A couple emergency calls. We are going to do a few masonry jobs that are leaking bad in the next couple weeksMaybe. I don’t know. Cleaned any chimneys lately?
