But with only 51 years experience I could be wrong.
We'll check back in 51 more, just in case. You never know. You may change your mind by then.

Make it 12-3. You will only have to turn it off when going through tunnels and over some bridges.

Is there any handy reference for which tunnels and bridges require propane to be turned off, and especially which ones prohibit it entirely?

We don't do a lot of extensive traveling with our TT, most camping trips are within a couple hours. We travel with the propane off. Before we leave, we run the frig for a couple days to "cool" it off and load it with food and frozen water bottles. Our food has never defrosted before we get to the next campground. This works fine for us!

The tunnels and bridges that require the tanks to be closed are clearly marked ahead of time and usually have a spot available to pull over and turn off the tanks. On the other side stop again and turn it back on.

While I leave mine on, the comparison to the TV or MH is void. The gasoline or diesel does not flow on its own other than gravity, it requires a pump. The propane will flow freely as it is under pressure. So while the gasoline or diesel in your tank wont leak out, the propane could if it has a leak in the pressurized system.
Again, I do travel with mine on, and do not worry about it.

On. If we are at a campsite that is powered, will transfer to electric, but while travelling down the road, it's on to keep the food cold and the meat frozen.

And is it safe for the LP powered vehicles to run with valve open? And for the nay-sayers, just traveling down the road with a LP tank in or on the vehicle is dangerous.
