Perfectly fine to run it on the road....I would think nearly all MH's on the road are running their refer on propane while travelling.....

I agree it is perfectly safe to run it on propane.

Personally, I believe it is save to use propane when driving. Others will disagree and have their reasons. I'm sure they will share those reasons here and you will be able to make a more informed decision.

There are some places where they restrict and enforce the use of propane. I've only encountered this once. I had to pull over at the entrance to a tunnel, turn the propane off at the tank (while a tunnel worked watched), then proceeded through the tunnel.

I have ran my rv refrigerators on propane while traveling since 1989 with no problems. The only thing I do is when we are refueling I always shut the refrig off so there is no
flame to ignite gasoline fumes from gasoline powered vehicles that are refueling, just a safety precaution that I have always done.
