We're new to the AS world, please excuse the entry level nature of my questions. We recently purchased a used Airstream and are working on maintenance repairs. On our 2007 Safari, the LP copper main line from the tanks is attached directly to the bottom of the tow frame and then is routed along under the frame outside the bellie pan.
It is smashed under the tow frame:
1) It seems that mounting the line directly under the tow frame postions it in the best place to be smashed again. It could be routed around the spare tire, through a manufactures hole in the frame, (it has a plastic plug now), around the battery box...which would route it in a way less likely to be smashed under the tow frame area. What do you think, am I being overly concerned, is this a dumb newbie/overkill idea?
2) I see the ground connection on the LP gas line to the frame. Why the ground connection? We will reinstall the connection but wonder if is it possible for the gas to explode without this connection? Why is it grounded in this particular manner? Is it just to guarantee a ground? Looks to me like the LP line touches metal in several places already.
Thank you for yr relies.
