Running Fridge while traveling
So I want to keep the frozen food frozen while I'm on the road. Do I run the generator or run it on propane? Which do you think would be most economical?

Thanks for all the comments. It sounds like it's ok to run while driving, just be sure to turn off the refer and propane before refueling. Any good ideas for a reminder?
Here are thoughts on turning off the frig when fueling.
Modern TV's have lots and lots and lots of switches that open and close when you start your engine. Computers and relays and switches and lots of other stuff that draw an arc when starting and running.
Starters throw a huge amount of sparks when starting. This is the reason in 45 years of RVing I never have turned the frig off when fueling.
That being said, if you feel more comfortable turning it off I suggest you do. I'm sure after a few times you will remember to do it. It's such a PITA to do it I'm sure you will remember to pull over before you hit the station and then pull in and refule and then pull out of the station and then pull over and turn the frig on again.
After doing that a few times you will remember..............or just do as I do...........:B
