I never shut my propane off and always run my fridge while on the road.

X2, never had any problems.

I leave mine on running the fridge while traveling. Assuming you'r gas lines are in good condition I wouldn't worry about it. I do shut the fridge off if I'm fueling up though.

I've said it before on other "propane on?" threads, but no one ever listens...


RUN!!!!

Replying to these threads is an instantaneous way to increase one's post count too.

Is there a prize for the most posts?

I leave it on. I sometimes run the furnace too.

I am in the group by that leaves the propane on. The refrigerator shifts over automatically when the electric power is disconnect.

At the filling station I worry more about a static spark to the hose then the refrigerator flame 30 feet away on the other side of the TT.

Others prefer to shut it off.

I will just add that for those with MH's. And TT owner's that have their tanks filled while still on board..........

Do not forget to shut the fridge OFF 'before' having your propane tank filled. For everyone's safety during the fill.

Trained/certified operator will have everyone leave MH and will verify propane vapor valve is closed prior to filling.

x2 Yes.

Flying J and propane companies make you leave the vehicle.

I stopped going to Flying J when they recently started 'insisting' I remove my dogs from the MH before they would fill it. :R

Kinda a joke though because you and the filler guy are standing just feet from the RV. Everyone is going to fry if anything goes wrong.

I now only fill up at CG's and although they should they don't always make everyone leave the RV. Fridge thermostat can come on and spark not correctly and if there is any low lying propane I would be concerned. Most usually always do ask if the fridge is off when filling though. I just turn it off as an added safety.

Leave it on.
