IMO the fridge is designed to run on the road. If you run short trips you could probably just use it like an ice chest but.....why? I cool my fridge down on AC before we leave and stock it. The day we leave I switch to LP and make sure the fridge changed over. I leave and don't think about it again until I hit my destination. That said, I understand there are some areas in the east that prohibit the operation of the fridge in some tunnels; I travel the west, south, southwest and southeast. I've not encountered that.

As far as gas stations, I leave it on. The trailer is 38' and the fridge is toward the end. It doesn't sit next to a pump....and with folks smoking a foot from the end of the gas dispenser I don't think my propane fridge, inside the confines of the RV and only an exhaust poking out, is going to blow up the station if they don't - and I've not seen a single warning about an RV at any pump.
