When traveling during freezine weather, do you run the furnace while going down the road and will it actually run while going down the road?
This is so I can monitor approx. how much antifreeze to add to the water going into the tanks.

I can see if it is a folded tent camper there might be an issue. However all propane tanks must have a built in emergency shut off valve. If you have an accident the propane will be shut off.OldLittleFoot said:All of the propane appliance manuals I have read warn users to shut them down and shut off supply valves before moving the RV.

Some do, and others, like us, never have done so. As noted, propane devices have a cut off. If the worry is the igniter blowing up gasoline fumes, don?t fuel where you can smell gasoline.Danny Pyle said:Remember to shut off any propane appliances before refueling vehicle!
