Refrigerator on Propane and stopping for Gas
OK, I tried a bunch of different ways to search for threads on the need or no need to shut off the refrigerator when running on propane while filling up the vehicle at the gas station.
I am about to take a 3000 mile round trip with my small 19' KZ Sportsmen travel trailer and will want to have the frig stocked and cold the whole time traveling. So, it will be using propane while in transit. So, you can guess what my question is and I am sure it has been asked and hashed out a million times on this forum but I can't find any threads on it.
So, here is the question:
Is it necessary to shut down the refrigerator when stopping to fill up the truck with gas?
If so, can I just shut it off on the frig control panel or do I have to shut off the propane tank valve too.
Or, am I perfectly fine to stop, pump my truck full of gas and not worry about the frig at all?
Seriously, when was the last time anyone has heard of a travel trailer blowing up a gas station?
Thanks all.
