There are some places in the US where you will be asked to turn off the Propane before entering into/onto a bridge or tunnel. And once you exit you may turn it back on. I agree with those laws as they are not at all burdensome and the Fridge is good for several hours without power of any kind.. It usually takes less than 10 minutes to cross or pass through the bridge or tunnel.
How big an issue is it? I have no clue. but I've only had to turn it off one time
When traveling I subscribe to the following theory:
IF the Fridge is going to start a fire while running on Propane, then it can happen when I'm going down the road, In which case other drivers can AVOID.. My rig is toast, but then my rig is toast in the next case too.
If it happens when RV's are packed into a fairgrounds like sardines in a can at the next FMCA gathering I attend, Well then my rig is toast, as is the million dollar Prevost beside me, and the one on the other side, and perhaps a couple more.
I think my insurance should be happier with just one new RV to buy.
