If, if, if! If you are in a bad accident and the propane tubing gets cut... the ORP valve will slam shut!
I travel with my fridge on year around...
And the furnace in winter.
I only run the hot water tank as needed (saves propane)
My Diesel fuel fill tube is on the drivers side
My camper is well designed:
The propane tanks are on the drivers side
... all of my propane fueled appliances are on the passenger side except the generator at the rear.
The physical seperation is a plus... and the advantages of the diesel fuel instead of the highly flameble gasoline just keeps getting better.
My fridge and furnace will rilight if te wind happens to blow out the flame... so, in more than 10 years Ihave no idea if the wind blows them out at all.
Note: I don't allow the PlatCat to operate while traveling (And I wouldn't allow a Wavw heater to burn when traveling either.)
After you consider any risks... go fo it.
