Why Every RVer and Equine Traveler Should Have a GasStop Installed
 
        Why Every RVer and Equine Traveler Should Have a GasStop Installed
Propane powers the comforts of the road — and if it leaks, it can become one of the most dangerous hazards in RVs and horse trailers. GasStop gives you a simple, mechanical layer of protection that instantly shuts off propane flow if a major leak occurs.
What is GasStop?
GasStop is a compact, mechanical safety valve that automatically shuts off propane flow when it senses a major leak. It mounts directly onto your cylinder or onboard tank and requires no batteries or electronics. When a sudden pressure drop occurs, GasStop closes instantly — stopping fuel before a dangerous amount can escape.
It also acts as a pressure gauge and quick diagnostic tool, helping you identify issues early and keep your system running safely.
Why Propane Leaks Are So Dangerous
Propane is heavier than air and tends to settle in low areas. A small leak can displace oxygen, create an explosive mixture, or ignite from a spark — even from a refrigerator igniter or static discharge. In RVs and horse trailers, leaks are most often caused by worn regulators, cracked hoses, or loose fittings from vibration and age.
Real-World Peace of Mind
At RV rallies and trade events, GasStop is consistently named one of the most important safety upgrades you can make. While propane leaks are rare, the consequences can be catastrophic. GasStop can make the difference between a close call and a disaster.
Installation takes just minutes. Once installed, it quietly protects your propane system every time you open the tank valve.
How GasStop Works
- Normal operation: Propane flows freely under standard pressure.
- Leak detected: A sudden pressure drop triggers the valve and shuts off flow immediately.
- Manual reset: After fixing the leak, press the built-in gauge a few times to reset the valve.
Because it’s 100% mechanical, GasStop reacts instantly — faster than a person could detect or respond to a leak.
Added Benefits Beyond Safety
- Integrated pressure gauge: Quickly check tank pressure before or during use.
- Leak tester: Pressurize your system and monitor for slow pressure drops.
- No maintenance: Fully mechanical, no batteries or electronics required.
This single upgrade provides continuous protection for your RV, horse trailer, and everyone traveling with you.
For RVers and Horse Trailer Owners Alike
Whether you’re a full-time RVer, weekend traveler, or horse hauler, propane is part of your setup. GasStop is essential for anyone with propane appliances or onboard heaters — especially if your trailer is parked in barns or enclosed areas where leaks can go unnoticed.
Easy Installation and Compatibility
GasStop comes in ACME (Type 1) and POL versions to fit most propane tanks in the U.S. and Canada. Installation is simple:
- Turn off propane and disconnect the hose or regulator from the tank.
- Thread GasStop onto the tank by hand (no tools required).
- Reconnect the hose or regulator to the GasStop.
- Open the valve slowly and check for leaks.
Once installed, GasStop is always active whenever your tank valve is open.
Wrapping It Up
Most RVers remember to check their tires, roof seals, and fire extinguishers — but propane safety often gets overlooked until it’s too late. GasStop is an affordable upgrade that provides protection every time you travel. It’s one of those safety devices you hope you never need, but you’ll be grateful to have when it matters most.
Travel safe, tow safe, and protect what matters most — every journey deserves a safe return.
