All tanks (DOT portable and ASME built in) has safety features including check valves to prevent the rapid release of gas in a leak situation.

A good description I found:
Propane 101-The basics

Thanks gmc, that link was really helpful. Following thru, I understand now that the "extend-a-stay" components allow utilizing portable cylinders to provide propane so you don't have to drive the coach to refuel when staying at a campsite.

Do you carry additional cylinders to increase your range before refueling also? How do you carry those cylinders?
