Traveling with refrigerator on gas???

There are some specific area's where you must turn the gas off, tunnels come to mind. Also, some recommended turning it off while filling up at gas stations.

I have never been where I was required to turn the gas off. At Hover Dam you were required to drop your TT a half mile from the dam.

I have never heard of it being illegal to drive down the road with the propane on.

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,

against the law? i've been doing for a few years, I'm not aware of a law against it, my understanding was it was designed to do that.

The only thing I've heard was a potential issue if the fridge kicks on at a gas station, if there's a lot of gasoline vapor in the area.

It's been discussed. A few times.
