You don't have to be stopped to run the fridge on propane. I always fire up
the fridge on propane power the night before I go camping and don't turn it
off until I return. You do have to shut off the propane if you put the
vehicle on a ferry though. I can't think of any other situations where you
would have to turn off the propane (Chesapeake Bay tunnel perhaps?).
