Always turn ours on the day before we leave so that it is cold when we leave. And then run it in auto until we return home, meaning it runs on propane while we are on the road.
I do not turn mine off when fueling. The fridge is no where near the fuel nozzle. To cause a fire would mean gasoline fumes would have to travel from a nozzle across that substantial distance to the fridge, enter the fridge vent, and reach the flame, while maintaining a maintaining a density level adequate to support combustion. That possibility is extremely remote. And gasoline fumes are heavier than air making that likelihood even less so. And diesel fumes are not explosive. So if you fuel at diesel only pumps then it ain't gonna happen.
