Is it permissible to use the propane side of a refrigerator in a recreational vehicle while the vehicle is in motion?

The use of the propane side of a refrigerator in a recreational vehicle while the vehicle is in motion has specific safety considerations. In this case, the correct stance is that it is permissible—there are practical reasons behind this. The operation of propane appliances while driving is often based on the vehicle's design and safety regulations.

For many modern recreational vehicles designed with safety in mind, they are equipped with systems that manage the safe use of propane appliances under motion. The fridge is sealed and the gas system is appropriately vented, allowing for safe operation while driving. It's critical to ensure that the appliance complies with manufacturer specifications and local regulations, which often permit the use of propane while the vehicle is in motion when sufficient safety measures are in place.

Safety systems in place, such as automatic shut-off features and proper tank positioning, help minimize risks during travel. Hence, if the RV manufacturer allows propane use while driving, it is considered acceptable. Always consulting the RV's manual for specific guidance is recommended.
