Norcold 1210 with replacement cooling unit propane blows out on the road

 Fridge stopped working last year. Replaced the cooling unit with the unit from JC Refrigeration. It works fine on both electricity and propane but on propane for rolling down the road it stops working. Once stopped, power off/on gets it working fine again. Blows out??

Any ideas why it stops working? Yes, I know the propane hose is disconnected in the photo - I replaced it because it was cracked and leaking.

    I have the same issue with my older one, it is one you have to hold the button down till it is going, then if you get a gust of wind you have to push the button down till it re-lights.  people have built baffels, taped up a bunch of the vents in the lower cover to preven gusts from entering, or instaled furnace filter material on the inside of the cover to difuse wind gusts.  I usaly get it when I am traveling over 50mph and a big truck goes by in the opposit direction.  I keep intending on trying to make some sort of baffel maybe this year.
