Neither the Camper manual nor the Dometic manual has any warnings about using the fridge on propane while driving. The Camper manual does have a warning about using the stove while driving though. If it were such an unsafe practice, I would think there would be a warning somewhere about not doing it. -Mark McCulley At 11:44 AM 5/27/98 -0700, mark drillock wrote: >I believe that the reason for not using the propane while driving is >that it is UNSAFE to do so.
