For those of you who travel with your fridge on (i.e. propane), do you turn off your fridge when refueling your TV? We're going half-way across the country (San Antonio, TX to Orlando, FL) in our most ambitious outing since we bought our TT last summer. We've had many closer trips but none which required fueling up along the way.
Appreciate your thoughts and comments. Thanks to those that respond!
Absolutely! Any gas fumes near your refrigerator vent can expload from the pilot flame or possibilty of the igniter trying to start the refrigerator. You should also close the valve at tank.

It's generally recommended to turn it off ESPECIALLY when fueling as the below links will show. Like Bucky, I do not, as it's an extremely low risk of fire.
Your refer flame is way away from any fuel fumes, and fumes are heavier than air. However, the lawyer-speak will tell you to turn if off. It that safer? Perhaps. Some folks are more comfortable with the perceived less risk, some are comfortable with the risk as it is.
This isn't a question of what will happen, it's a question of what you're comfortable with.
