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 ...

I've been told it is illegal in BC and I can find some evidence that seems to support it.

Having said that, I drive with mine on all the time and many of those km's have been in BC. I've never been questioned about it.
When I went across the ferry at Nakusp they checked that it was off for the ferry crossing but had no comment about it being on when I got there.
I do not see in the article where they quoted the supposed law and one of their references informs rv users to turn off their engine and propane appliances prior to refuelling, which to me would indicate that it is OK to have the propane on while driving.
I use to turn it off, but for the last 10 years have left it on. BC and Washington state ferries always check that you have it turned off, so they are assuming you are driving with it on.
