Traveling with refrigerator on gas???
I've traveled with the refrigerator running on gas for years but recently heard it is against the law to do that. I was just wondering how many do it. Thanks,

firsttime rver, "What the big problem is" is that when you are on the road for a long period of time, filling your freezer and refrigerator space with frozen bottles of water just does not work for us. We will fill the fridge with food and frozen goods.
If I were just to take short trips this would be an option. We spent a goodly sum of money for our trailer and enjoy all the benefits of our coach. I use the shower, the toilet, the furnace, the AC, the television, the stove, the oven, and yes even the refrigerator as it was designed to use.
Some folks don't run their fridge while on the road. They wait until they get to their destination and go to a grocery store and stock up. That is a solution but not one I am going to use. Again, to each his own.
x2 well said.
I use my fridge and freezer to carry food, not frozen bottles of water or other keep-cool type things.
Many of the places I'm camping are a long ways from any reasonable grocery store (I don't count the one right outside almost every camp that charges 3x the normal price.)
edit: regarding using bottled ice to keep freezer cool, sorry, it does not work that way. Ice can only cool things to 32F, which is well above the FDA recommended safe zone for frozen food. You want frozen food at 0 to 5F... foods with a high fat or salt content will not be frozen at 32F. That's meats, ice cream, any kind processed food. Why risk food poisoning to save a few bucks on propane?
