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?

OK her's my propane horror story. MY wife took our popup on a solo trip with some of her friends to go horseback riding in southern Illinois. She towed the pup while someone else towed her horse. The propane tank was loose and eventually fell off the tongue of the trailer and was dragging down the road. When my wife finally got pulled over by the state troopers who pointed out the tank they noticed that the dragging had worn a hole through the side. The tank was full and you would think that with all the sparking and such when the propane leaked out it would have exploded. No. My wife bought a new tank and had a great weekend. And yes I travel all the tine with the tank on and running the fridge.
For propane to explode requires the proper air/fuel ratio.
Watched a house fire where the 500 gallon propane tank next to the house got hot and vented through the OPD valve on the tank. The plume of fire went 50 feet in the air, but there was no explosion.
