I'm going to throw this out there as I'm the owner of an older RV that doesn't have electronic ignition, auto shut-off, etc.
I don't like running my fridge on propane while driving because the pilot light could easily be extinguished from the road movement and winds. If that happens, I risk the chance of propane gas getting into the RV. Which could become enough to possibly ignite or more likely will be deadly to the parrot and possibly dogs riding with me.
That's why I say do what you're comfortable with and if you run across a prohibition (tunnel, ferry, etc.), turn it off.
