In my opinion... having the propane tanks valved open is reasonable safe when traveling.
It is important to have the propane tanks and regulator situated outside the enclosed quarters of the living space to prevent a slow leak from building up an explosive concentration.
The fridge, furnace and hot water tank are all outside the enclosed living space and vented
It is important to have all of the piping and fittings possible outside the enclosed living space. Vibrations can induce slow leaks.
For the above reasons: The cook stove/oven, and heaters like the Wave and the Platcat are inside the living space and should not be left running unattended while traveling
