many people will tell you to run your frig while traveling. the Mark Polk and Dr RV will tell you not to run it. and I agree with the Pros on this one. I use frozen reusable ice packs to keep the frig cold while traveling. thus not having to worry about turning off the frig while fueling is another good thing. I spent 30 years on the fire dept here and fought my share of fires started by frig's left on while traveling and refueling. one guy had a brand new MH come through our town and it burned up while traveling with his frig on. we got a new gas station convenience store compliments of a guy with a MH refueling and his frig flame started the place on fire, even burned up the UPS truck next to it and almost the large propane tank there too. I have written this statement many times and they all say I am over exaggerating but it is true and scary as H""". we saved the town that day, if the large propane tank would have blown it was good bye every one with in a mile. I learned from other peoples mistakes and others should too. as you know it only takes once to kill some one or what ever. just because they have done it for years with out mishap doesn't mean it's right.
