In the last couple of years I have learned to travel with the propane on the fridge. I truly don't know if the flame ever burned out but when arriving at our destination the fridge has been nice and cold each time which tells me the flame restarted as needed. I have driven through several windy conditions during this time.

If I stop for gas I do turn off the propane before refueling because of the potential for the reignition of the fridge causing a spark and thereby creating a hazard. I would do the same if I know about an impending tunnel but I haven't run into that.

I wonder if there is a way to put some indicator in the TV to tell if the fridge is still running when you are towing. But maybe it's enough that Drifty's remote display be checked when you make a stop. After all, most safety conscious recommendations are not to run the fridge on propane in the first place.
