Fridge not staying lit when traveling
I am having a problem with fridge not staying lit when traveling. Works fine on gas when parked. This just started to happen it would happen from time to time over the last two years but now seems to ...

And, this brings up an interesting question:
Is it safe to use your refrigerator on propane while traveling? To be honest, I've never given it a second thought. If the RVIA thought that it was unsafe to operate it on propane while en route, I'm sure there would be warnings, cautions and interlocks to prevent it. I was just wondering because I saw a YouTube video the other day where some "Mr. Professional Firefighter Dude and RV guy" thought it was the most dangerous thing in the world to do. He went on whining about how you would be putting firefighters lives in danger, etc. What a crock. As a trained member of an industrial fire brigade unit at a power plant, we train on LPG fires (BLEVE's) since there are so many propane powered devices in use these days. Even the comments were humorous - blasting those of us carelessly endangering the lives of all those unknowing folks out there on the highways of our fine country.
Oops, I guess I let my position on the subject kinda' slip out. And yes, I do turn it off before hitting the fuel islands at the Flying J/Pilot and other gasoline dispensing sites.
