Yes there are safety issues with running the refrigerator on propane while traveling. I think it's against the law most places - I know it is in Washington. What about stopping to get gasoline - do you want an open flame in the area when you buy gas? The exhaust on the burner may also catch your trailer on fire when it's folded. May places it's against the law to even have your propane tank valve open when towing - even if it's not against the law in your state - it's not very prudent.
Very good points. That's why I asked. Thanks.
