Propane on while driving- refrigerator

A guy at an RV place told me to shut off my propane while going down the road. I always lefts it on for my refrigerator to keep everything cold. Is that dangerous? He said my fridge would keep everything cold for 5 or 6 hours if we did not open it. Kinda screws up making lunch during the trip.

    I never shut my propane off and always run my fridge while on the road. 10 yrs and never a problem.

    You will get 200 responses from people saying it is ok. 200 people will say it is not. There are countless threads on this forum and every other forum on this topic. Do what you feel is ok. I do what I do, and that is what I do. If I was a mod, I would put links to the search bar, and close this thread. Enjoy your trips, and happy camping.
