I agree. Considering the sheer number of trailers on the road, and the very rare occurrence of propane powered fires while traveling, I think the risk factor is negligible.

I feel a little stupid for adding to a subject that has been discussed ad nauseum.
As a newbie, what got me comfortable running the fridge while driving was seeing the gas line running to the fridge outside the underbelly and understanding the fridge flame is pretty much on the outside too.
There is no chance for gas to get into the cabin and anything bad happening from that flame on the outside of the fridge.

And the fridge flame is 3-4’ of the ground, hydrocarbon vapors being heavier than air not likely build up enough to get even 6” deep on the ground.
Same as the rest, been doing it for years no issue. Some bridges, tunnels require it off and ferrys for sure want the propane off.

Been towing since 97, propane's on while on the road, never had an issue. I turn the tanks off while fueling, then back on when clear of the area. If the frig ever goes out, would consider a 12volt replacement

We have been running with the fridge running on Propane for 35+ years on 4 different RV's. I always made sure NOT to park with the fridge near the pump, and our last three RV's have been long enough that to make the turns into and out of gas stations that the hose could barely reach the truck.
With our 2016 Solitude we find it MUCH easier to use truck stops because there is no shoe-horning required to get in or out. We got the TDS card which saves us enough $$ on diesel fuel to have a nice dinner when we get to Florida from Michigan...Frank and Char + Maya, Newport, Michigan. 2016 Solitude 379FL/2006 F250 6.0 diesel w/dually conversion. 4th rain-sense roof vent, two ceiling fans, Kodiak disc brakes, Carlisle G 14-ply tires, Water Miser x2, final dump valve, water header tank, fridge cond fan switch, outside range exhaust, elec hot water anode, filtered drinking water, triple battery box,

I've been towing with the propane on for the last 20 years and never had an issue - not to say issues couldn't arise.
I don't know that I've ever read a news story about a RV crash that was made worse or preventable by propane being on while travelling.
