Running your propane Refrigerators while traveling?
I've heard that running your Fridg on gas while traveling is dangerous. They say it can start fires. So...What do you do?

On two occasions we have accidentally turned our fridge off while driving to a CG . Both times we were only two hours away and the temps were in the 70's.
By the time we got to the CG's the inside of the fridge was noticeably warmer - as in unhealthy warm. Also, my fridge was (last TT) insulated better than most with 3" bat on all sides.
So running with them off doesn't work and how could it? Fridges are designed to run about 50% duty cycle. If they could get them to not run for hours at a time, they would.
