RE: propane

We travel with the fridge running on propane! Doesn't work on 12 volt and I can't see letting the food spoil. I do shut it off when refueling. Haven't had a need for the furnace while on the road.

Re: propane

When we run the generator it runs the fridge. If we are not running the gen, we leave it on 12vt. We are never that long without ac or generator that we would have to worry about spoilage.
As for propane heater, we do not use it when traveling. Just personal preferrence.

Re: propane

I do the same as Ken. RV propane systems have had "stop flow" safety valves in them for many years that will shut the gas off should it ever rupture. Any idea of how the owners of propane fueled gensets get them to run when on the road? If I were afraid to use propane when driving (usually we are awake then) I sure would not be able to sleep with it in use.

That said, if you are not comfortable traveling with propane on, it sure won't hurt to run with it off as long as you limit the use of the refrigerator when traveling and perhaps keep some frozen blue packs or ice jugs in it to help. The best thing to do is whatever you feel comfortable with.

Re: propane

We've had our TT for eight years and have never turned off the propane while traveling. It keeps our fridge cold!

I've yet to see an article or news story of a fire at the pumps caused by an RV fueling up while their propane tanks were turned on. JMHO.
