I run it while traveling which is what it's designed for and still don't worry about it.
I know it's a dead horse and such... but I have read this many times in this forum. Is this officially documented anywhere?
Out of curiosity I decided to read my Jayco manual to look for this. Here is what I found:
"The propane cylinder(s) should be turned off when traveling. Most refrigerators will keep food cold or frozen for eight hours without running while you travel"
That's one of those things that the company puts in there for liability reasons. Many motorhome fires have started in frig area but they start whether you are on the road or not. It's just clearly more dangerous if you are driving down the freeway in a vehicle that's on fire. So they put these safety precautions in there so in case something happens they can say they told you not to do it. Also it is clearly safer to have the propane shut off at the tank while traveling in case you're in an accident. But I don't do it.
