Experts outline safety rules for using gas heating in a motorhome while the vehicle is in motion. This requires a crash sensor and often a hose rupture safety device to prevent uncontrolled gas leaks in an accident. Liquid gas heating is prohibited in enclosed spaces like garages or while refueling, unlike diesel systems. An eleven-kilogram gas cylinder lasts approximately 3–5 days during winter use with heating, cooker, and refrigerator running.
