Leave propane on while driving?
Our normal practice has been to leave our propane on while driving to keep the refrigerator cold and hot water hot, but I know that can be risky. What do you recommend? Thanks, Lee

We travel with fridge on. We fuel at first pump so that our RV is not near the pumps but is in open air.
That doesn't really help in a big fuel spill. I think what typically happens is that something happens to make fuel spill on the ground (like the nozzle falls out of the tank to the ground while still spewing fuel), the spill goes under the RV and as the vapor rises, it reaches the 'fridge and ignites the vapor and that big fuel spill under the RV.
When I do leave the propane on while driving, I always shut off the propane and turn off the 'fridge off when refueling. Even on a long trip, I almost never refuel more than once in a day so it's not a big inconvenience.
