Possible, as long as your burner box, intake and exhaust for the fridge are
right. We've gone 70+ mph without the fridge blowing out (or up).

Advisable? Only a fool would advise you to drive around in your van with a
lit flame attached to a pipe leading to a propane tank, despite thousands
of safe trip people have made doing the same.

Legal? I'm not attorney so any legal advice would be highly suspect. I'd
suspect that many municipalities and states forbid it. North Carolina also
forbids sexual intercourse in all positions except the missionary position.
Who's gonna stop you?

is it possible, advisable, legal to drive while having the fridge running
on propane or should it run on 12 V? (or maybe 120V if the extension cord
is long enough).
