When stationary, I can run on propane just fine. We are on a trip now and had a brief power outage a couple days ago. I switched to propane when that occurred and left it there. Over 48 hours on LP and no issues.

So, something causes mine to crap out while traveling.

Is the flame being extinguished possibly?
Just a guess but maybe there's an aerodynamic condition that's not allowing the flue to properly vent at speed. I've had LP/electric absorbstion fridges in 4 trailers. I've always traveled with them running on gas and have never had one that has tripped. Just my experience.
