I'm sure you will get opinions on both sides of this issue, but I think I can safely say that the majority travel with the fridge turned on (except when refueling). I have only been rv-ing for about 3 years, but we have always traveled with the fridge on and have not had any problems. I'm sure some have probably been doing it for 30 years without problems. Although I have also heard about fires caused by this, I think they are isolated incidents when you consider the number of rv's on the road and the huge number of miles they travel. Turning the fridge off would certainly be an inconvenience, but some do it for peace of mind. The bottom line is, it is your decision as to whether you feel safe or not. Good luck and happy travels.
