jstavene Report post Posted August 13, 2013 I know it is questionable legally while driving, (states vary, tunnels, ferries, etc). I also see its recomended to not have propane on while driving according to propane safety .com http://www.propanesafety.com/uploadedFiles/Safety/Propane_Emergencies/RV_safety%20brochure.pdf I suspect the idea that so many models of rv, or appliances, and systems in different states of repair and maintinence means its just safer and simpler to say its not recomended (who knows what is on the road a couple miles up, accidents, forest fires, bumps, why play russian roulet with the expense of the rv or possible loss of you and family?

carlpeterson Report post Posted August 13, 2013 gdroke- I also have a Safari Simba (2006). Very happy with it, I run the refrig. on propane when traveling. no problems so far. You probably have a Norcold 1200 refrig. If you do, you may want to check some recent topics of another recall for this model. Norcold says not to use the refrig. until you have the recall done.

Its true that in some situations propane must be turned off, however if your vehicle is propane fueled that would not be practical to turn off the propane.

I think one thing to consider is that this RV safety article was written for all RVs. I personally think there is a big difference between leaving the propane on in a motor home versus a towable RV. If you have an LP leak in a towable, you may not know about it for miles and a catastrophic fire could occur, but in a motor home you are in the vehicle and can use your senses and monitors to find any leaks before larger problems can happen. I leave mine on, and will continue to do so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
