Safety Tips:
Traveling With Propane On -
There are several conveniences to traveling with the propane on. First,  the food inside remains fresh. In cold weather, propane allows you to run your RV's heating system and heat the water in the hot water heater. Some RVs require the propane  to run the generator.

If you elect to travel with the propane on, you must turn it, and all appliances off, prior to entering a fuel stop.

To ensure your food stays cool, purchase a fridge fan. These small, battery-operated fans, can be found at the Fire & Life Safety booth at RV rallies, Camping World, and some WalMarts for between $15 and $20. This  fan circulates cold air much like a convection oven circulates warm air. Place the fan on the lower shelf for best results. Placing a stainless steel bowl filled with ice next to the fan keeps your refrigerator even colder for those  longer drives.  Also, if you limit opening the refrigerator door , food will keep for many hours.

Most new motorhomes are wired so that the refrigerator cannot be operated on electricity from the inverter, while going down the road. This is done because the refrigerator requires a lot of energy. Operating the refrigerator on electricity while traveling has been known to cause premature alternator failure on the vehicle while it is trying to keep up with the demand.
