I have wondered about the safety of having propane flowing through the
vehicle while driving, in the event of a serious collision. At least if the
valve is shut off, the propane is well protected inside a thick tank.
However if the valve is open, someone hits you on the side or the van rolls,
and the propane line ruptures, you have a serious propane leak and the
potential for spark. Of course it's admittedly not a likely scenario...
