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..........
