Propane stove operation - pure theoretical question

[RT1997]

Assuming a propane stove and propane equipment are in perfect condition and stay that way during given case of usage,say about 30 min.( cooking with no spills).
RT window(s) and roof vent open but the vehicle fan is off ( house battery is dead), only usb fan working.
The question is - are there any propane "fumes", standard micro " leaks" emitted?

I have propane detector but it operates from house battery.

P.S.Everyone understands about importance of proper ventilations and having functional propane detector etc.
It goes without saying.

The propane is probably the least of your worries unless you leave an unlit burning on.

Carbon monoxide and oxygen depletion are the main things to worry about.

You should have a carbon monoxide detector in place and up to date in any RV, all the time.

Oxygen depletion is countered by ventilation so just stay well ventilated.

All burning gives some by products like particulate or vapors so fresh air takes care of them also if you are worried.

Thank you,Booster.I have duo CO2 /propane detector Safe-T-Alert brand.And it requires house battery in working condition.
I also have CO2 portable detector somewhere in the cabinets ,collecting dust )):

I have the duo and also a standalone CO monitor as a backup.

I have the duo and also a standalone CO monitor as a backup.

What brand ?
Though they are probably very similar to each other.

When I was a kid on the farm, we used a propane stove which was sometimes used as heat on a cold morning. Also had a propane refrigerator for a while, none of us died from any fumes? You must be hearing the save the Planet gas stoves are going to kill you! Stop selling LP or Natural gas..... anything.

The combustion products from propane flames are Carbon Dioxide and Water. There are are small amounts of Nitrogen Oxides which can give a acrid smell. If the falme is blue there should be no Carbon Monoxide (CO). You should always have some ventilation when operating the appliance. If it is cold you may get water condensation on the windows.

At times there are also very small amounts of CO generated but are considered "Safe" levels usually under 5 ppm. Ventless gas heaters have CO carbon monoxide that shut down the unit If it detects higher levels.

I am not particular worried.But with my luck 0.00000000001% chances could be my case.

So far I am still alive.But many years ago in San Diego a couple was found dead in their RV allegedly from using propane stove as a heater.
