We run the fridge 24x7x365. The only exception is when we are required to turn it off in certain tunnels. I turn it back on as soon as we exit the tunnel. When fueling I try to use the first pump so the Montana hangs out the rear, away from the pumps. We did the same when we had a gas tow vehicle.

I've heard there is one state that requires it be turned off but otherwise have never heard of any state requiring they be turned off while running down the road. As many RV's as are on the road I would think any state requiring they be turned off would have that posted in the same area where they say seat belt usage is required.

I've heard people say they're afraid in an accident a hose would rupture causing a fire. But the newer tanks have the OPD safety valve and if a hose ruptures the tank automatically shuts off so that argument no longer applies. As usual, just my opinion.
