Fridge on propane while driving
I have read opposing opinions on this. Should I just run the generator to power the refer or is it okay to utilize it on propane while driving down the road?

This is pretty simple. I have never been to a gas station that did not have warnings signs posted about open flames, cell phones, containers and such. Even though the flame in the fridge is behind an outer panel and inner sheet metal panel, this flame still takes in oxygen to burn therefore is considered open to the outside.
I have seen a lot of replies that state it does not matter, or there is no issue etc... This is one reason that I stay away from any type of RV when I am at a gas station even when I am towing our RV. I agree it would not be a common happening, but accidents can and do happen.
Here is the law that is similar in most states:
"Any person who smokes or uses an open flame within 20 feet of a pump used to fuel motor vehicles or a fueling tanker being used to deliver gasoline to a gasoline station is guilty of a Class 3 misdemeanor if smoking or the use of an open flame is prohibited by a sign at the pump. Any person who causes a fire or explosion as a result of a violation of this section is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor."
