Refrigerator modifications
Just curious to see if anyone has attempted this. Taken a 12 volt dc inverter to 120 volts ac to operate the fridge while traveling. That way you do not have to operate on propane.

Not wanting to run the frig on propane when traveling IMO makes no sense. Any danger from that is miniscule compared to potential vehicle fires from shorts/gas or from just the fact you have 40 to 60lbs of propane taigaiting you only 3' from your back bumper with no way to avoid hitting you should something happen.
Also, no manufacturer of propane refers have any sort of cautionary warning about operating their equipment when on the road traveling so if there was any logical reason not to the legal types would have that warning in REAL BIG BOLD LETTERS EVERYWHERE.
Just put the refer in the Auto mode and let it do it's thing which is one less thing to worry about or mess with.
To be honest those citing some concern from a safety standpoint should probably never get in a motorized vehicle since doing so subjects one to a higher probablility of injury than does running a refer on propane.
