Should you put refrigerator on D.C. When on the road. I had just been turning it off. I know not to use propane when moving. Comments.

That has been my limited experience.

just put it on pp and all most forget it. TURN OFF when fueling, before you get to the pumps. the refrig uses very little pp.12v will not do the job.

FYI: Those of us with 2 way units routinely run on propane while underway.

We use 12v when the engine is running, although before we had the option we used propane when traveling. I'm not sure why you say you "know not to use propane when moving". Seems like an odd statement unless you plan to forget to turn it off when fueling.
