Travelling with heat on
Hi again We are just about ready to leave Maine for Florida for a month. First time we have taken the 5th wheel down. Temps here are still in the teens. I am wondering if I can set the thermostat ...

OK, fine, it may be true that all states except NJ allow for propane to be turned on and in use. However, unless the person who wrote that frozen food trucks use propane fired refrigeration is a driver, I would bet most of them are Freon based and run by electric!
The comment about motor homes running the furnace to heat the rigs while traveling, From what I've seen at shows, most A's use a hot water circulation system off the engine same as a car.
No matter what the case, I won't travel with the refrigerator, or the furnace running and the propane open. I've had two very close friends killed by a propane explosion and I care not to join them!

And that is your Choice..........
But before spreading bad info at least do what you suggested others do.....Check the State Laws/Restrictions first.
Propane system on a RV be it MH, popup or any other RV has numerous safety features & devices built in making it safer than the fuel tank and/or engine fuel system used by RV or tow vehicle.
Sorry for your friends tragedy.
Propane, natural gas explosions are usually from improper use.
Again your choice.
But do you sleep in your RV and use the propane?
