Leave propane on while driving?
Our normal practice has been to leave our propane on while driving to keep the refrigerator cold and hot water hot, but I know that can be risky. What do you recommend? Thanks, Lee

That’s a good idea! I am not sure if the refer would start again without manually pressing the button.
It may go to default off. I guess I could try and see what happens. But when you do reset the fridge it would probably light right away.
After gassing up and switching the coach's 12V power back on, I quickly check the light on the refrigerator to make sure it has come back on. So far after 15 years, the refrigerator has always come back on whenever the 12 volts to it is available.
These two things take 10 seconds - as I enter the driver's seat from within the coach - instead of entering through the cab door by the driver's cab seat. The 12V switch is right by the coach entrance door step, and the refrigerator is 5 feet from the coach entrance door step.
What I have done a couple of times in years past before I got the gassing-up-12V-switching routine down ... is after gassing up enter the driver's seat through the cab door by the driver's cab and hence forgetting to turn the 12V coach power back on ... not good for keeping the food cold! Now I have a voltmeter mounted right on the dash that shows the voltage of the coach's 12V system ... so I can see right away before starting out whether or not I have switched the coach's 12V power back on.
