Can I tow my trailer with Propane on ?
Hello, Can I leave my Propane on, to keep my fridge cold, while driving 16 hours to Yellowstone ? Or is there a law against that ? thank you

I leave it on all the time for the frig.
When fueling, the gas filler door is about 20 feet behind the frig, and the frig is about 5 feet off the ground. Gas fumes are heavier than air. If the fume level is that deep, when I start the engine, the sparks from the cranking motor commutator/brushes will ignite them, and there will be a huge fireball.
I have never heard of that happening.
Yes, there was (is?) a video making the rounds showing a Class B going up in flames when the owner was beginning to fuel it, because (supposedly) the frig was operating on propane. There are two things to notice about that video:
1. The frig was about a foot above the fuel filler.
2. The gas nozzle was locked OPEN, and the owner sprayed fuel directly into the frig!
That was a one-time freak occurrence, yet it has become the "poster child" for the "We're all gonna DIE if you don't fuel up properly!" folks.
Fuel station explosions are really VERY rare!
