Cooking while driving???
Is it a dumb idea to run the propane oven while driving??
Forum Discussion
There is basically no problem with running propane while driving though Insurance Companies will try to tell you otherwise.. I will explain.
However I'd be concerened about stuff sloshing out of the cooking/roasting pan while driving
What I use while driving is a "lunchbox" oven.. Burton "Stove to go" or something like that, it looks like a lunch box with a power cord, two of them in fact. and I have a 12 volt 20 amp outlet in the galley.. It sits in the sink.
now the propane issue: Insurance companies are concerned that if you get hit in the propane lines and they rupture with the tank valve open there might be a fire and the added gas will make it worse.. of course the excess flow valve in teh tank should prevent that but always best not to trust "Automatic Safety Devices"...
My concern is that there might be a fire in the Fridge, Seems from time to time these are popular... But would you rather it happen on the road, where other drivers, seeing the smoke, can honk, point and AVOID.. or when packed in like sardines at an FMCA rally next to a million dollars or so worth of Prevost which your fire spreads to and.. Well you get the picture.
Either way your RV is toast.. but I'd rather not pay for the Prevost as well.
