Not so sure about running down the road with an open flame. A lot of people say that is a no NO!!
There is no open flame, it is an enclosed flame.
Insurance companies are worried about the slight chance of a propane line rupture in a crash and thus say "TURN OFF PROPANE AT TANK" I trust the excess flow valve to do that if it happens.
Myself, I'm more concercened with a fridge fire.. Now imagine the two following cases. First: For the record, I DO NOT Drive a half million dollars worth of Prevost.
You are going down the road,, Behind you is a half million dollars worth of Prevost.. Your firdge catches fire.. The dirver of the prevost A: Pulls right up beside you on the flaming side, or B: Avoids you like the plague (or c Pulls up on the safe side and lets you know) Answer,, Well for sure it's not A.
Story 2:
You get to the FMCA rally grounds and they pack 'em in like sardines in a can... You turn on the propane (Not haveing shore power) and fire up the fridge,, Go to the opening cermonies, along with the occupants of the half million dollar rig parked beside you and when you return find the Fire Department putting out both your rig, his rig and damage to at least 2 more.
Yup,,, I drive with mine on.
