New Reflection 150 260RD - Running fridge while on the road

While on the road - do any of you run the fridge with the propane?

We have received conflicting info - we have always used propane to run the fridge in our old Jayco and Class A

Thanks!!

  • I'm sure in todays litigious society that instruction in the manual is based on CYA. These refrigerators snuggle enough to cool let alone turn them off while traveling. We always travel with ours on.
  • I know that sounds like a stupid question - but we were reviewing the new rigs manual and it said don't use propane while on the road to run the fridge - That is contrary to the reason we have the dual - Gas/Electric fridge and we have always run our fridge with gas while on the road - this is our 3rd RV and never heard this before - maybe just legal talk to avoid any liability.

    Exactly. and we have done it for 20 years. It actually cools better on the road as the bumping, and bouncing helps the cooling liquid tp circulate
  • I run the fridge on propane when driving. An acceptable risk for me.
