Keeping Things Cold on the Road
Interested to know how long things in refrigerator stay cold while traveling and if anything in the freezer thaws out if we're on, say, an 8 hour road day. Just bought a TT and haven't used it yet.

It seems there are lot's of people that choose to travel with the refer on,that's cool.It's your rig and your choice but some like Good Sam,the forum we are all posting on,suggest not to as my quote from the Good Sam Travel blog below..Driving with propane on can add to the danger if you are involved in an accident or have a fire. SHUT OFF THE PROPANE at the tank and turn off all propane-powered appliances while driving.
And there are those of us that choose to do exactly that...Why should anyone else care by adding another safety feature to the enjoyment of RVing.
It's a choice we all have to make.
And Good Sam Travel blog is just an opinion that doesn't carry any more/same weight as mfg. of the fridges (Norcold/Dometic) which state it is OK to operate fridge in transit. OR the Federal DOT & ASME regulations that require all of the safety features that prevent cylinders/tanks from spewing propane should lines/fittings be damaged. Short of the vessel it self being damaged having them valved IN or Out posses no inherent danger
Again.......it is safe and is a personal choose whether or not to travel with propane ON.
Simple as that.
