BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 We actually flipped a camper with the propane on. We landed on our side still attached to the camper. We may have just been lucky (in many ways), but I know after asking DH if he was OK, my first thought was to get us and the dogs out of the truck ASAP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keith_h 420 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 We don't need to use propane when we are traveling due to our fridge having 12V operation in addition to 110V and gas. Due to this I travel with the propane turned off. I also try to remember turn it off whenever we are going to be away from the campsite for any length of time. In both cases it just seems prudent to have the thing shut off since I have alternatives. If we had a two way fridge I would probably travel with it on so I could keep it cold. I also would likely leave it on if the shutoff wasn't as easy to get to as ours is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 I have a 12V only fridge, so drive with the propane off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arthuruscg 34 Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 I am honestly surprised that campers don't have an inertia shut off like how cars do for gasoline/ diesel. Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They will shut off if you open the tank valve too fast as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arthuruscg 34 Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 But that does not shut the gas off if a trailer flips. Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
