Do you drive with your propane on?
In the 30 some odd years I've been camping in truck campers and a motor home I have always driven with the propane on to run the fridge. All these years I had never concidered this might be dangerous ...

RVing since the 70's, never turned the propane off, and never seen a RV burned due to having the propane on. I have actually seen Buses and truck that run on propane, and they never turn their propane off.

Some people never buckle up their whole life, some never change motor oil and still get 160,000 miles on the engine.
But buses and trucks-unlike motorhomes and TT, don't have copper tubings carrying propane on the top of wheel wells, where any flat tire will break cheap inner fenders and break propane line.
Add couple of sparks and flat tire turns into total loss.
On my camper gas pipes going outside are steel pipes, but exposed to any accident.
Risk is low, but with new technology not necessary.
$30 inverter will make everything way safer.
