Bill of Bills RV in Ventura, CA does not recommend having the fridge on when traveling. As I remember if the pipes clog and the flame is on there can be trouble. He recommends staying out of the refer to avoid spilling the cold air out.
Mine is off unless it's 95 degrees outside and we are traveling over four hours or so. Me Wife puts in cold packs just in case.
IF Bill actually said this AND believes it, he has NO business working on RV systems. He has shown extreme ignorance on a basic part of the refer and operation. IF driving with the refer on LP (I only have about 35 years of seeing this as a professional), there would be stories all over because there are MILLIONS of RV refers on the road every year. I have NEVER heard or seen reports of a fire caused while in transit. NOT even at a Gasoline station, where they proved the refer was a cause of any such fire.
THEY ARE DESIGNED TO OPERATE IN TRANSIT AND THERE IS NO REASON TO NOT DO SO. Now, some areas you MUST turn the LP systems OFF to go thru Tunnels and such. Doug
