- donn0128Explorer IIProbably 95% of RVers do.
- 12th_Man_FanExplorerbeen doing it for forty years. No fires.
- No more danger than stationary. Just run it.
- azdryheatExplorerWe don't want the food to spoil or the ice to melt. It's a tiny flame. I'd stay away from the people who say it's dangerous.
- tewitt1949Explorer IIThank you all. It will be running.
- guidryExplorerPlease explain your source that said it was dangerous. I’ve been doing it for years.
- Dick_BExplorerIt's similar to the question about leaving the propane on while traveling. I used to be worried about that but in many years of reading these posts I have yet to read about a fire started by leaving the propane on.
- BB_TXNomadSomeone will probably chime in and echo what you heard about danger. But as stated, I think the great majority of us do it. And I also have never seen anyone post a link to a legitimate event linked to a fire or explosion from doing so.
- DutchmenSportExplorerI'm FINALLY out of this debate! Hallalujah!! I now have a a household refrigerator, all electric.
But, 20 years of propane refers, always ran with them on. Never a single problem or issue. - LwiddisExplorer III’ve heard they say lots of stuff. RVing since 1978 and always with fridge running on propane. Not unsafe.
