Re: Any tricks to keep fridge lit while driving?The benefits of using propane for the fridge while driving are that it cools better. The fridge on 12V is not controlled by the thermostat. If you are sightseeing, stoping to take photos, hike, etc. and leave the van for awhile, you don't have to keep re-starting the fridge.

  What are the benefits of using propane for the fridge while driving rather than the battery?

    I hear people drive around with the fridge running on gas.  When I try it,
    the flame goes out.  Any tips on keeping the fridge lit while driving?
    Does opening the drain (at the bottom of the fridge) help?  Is this
    dangerous?  Thanks.
