Can I tow my trailer with Propane on ?

Can you? I don't know as that pertains to a skills question. Do you have the skills?

May you? Yes, you have my permission if you have the skills.

Should you? As you have read in previous posts, that depends on how much risk you are comfortable with.

Keep your trailer maintained and your insurance paid up and go enjoy your camping.

Propane is always on when traveling.

The real answer depends on your level of paranoia. There is no reason whatsoever to turn off the propane while traveling with your RV.

I'm not even aware of the requirement to turn them off in selected tunnels. I have seen many tunnels that prohibit propane altogether, but have not seen any that tell me I can bring it in, but all appliances using it must be off.

There's nothing in my water heater, furnace or RV manuals that caution me about the need to turn off Propane at fuel stops. There are no such warning labels on the appliances.

I have never seen a news story about an RV Propane appliance causing a fuel station explosion. Maybe someone can point me to such an example?

So many folks do everything possible to turn RVing into a chore, instead of a relaxing, enjoyable adventure. The level of paranoia is astounding..........

Just some of the tunnel restrictions

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to contact the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission. In response to your email you are permitted to carry up to 100 pounds of propane through the tunnels at one time. The only restriction is it must be turned off only while traveling through all of the tunnels.

I always travel with my refrig on. As others have said, that's what it is designed for. I built a remote control to turn the refrig off from the drivers seat before I pull into a gas station and turn it back on after we leave. I have occasionally forgotten to turn it back on and the ice cream is noticeably softer.

No. I think this is a great "refresher course" to convince my husband.

Yeah. A poster that's been here for over 2 years has to ask this question? :h

Edit: Saw another post by the OP and they don't even know how to use the water heater so I guess this could be a legitimate inquiry.

Mine is on 24/7 in all conditions until back in storage.

Just couldn't stop myself.
