Yikes! I've only turned off my propane when refilling the propane tank. Am I a driving time bomb? How do you keep the fridge cold?

If I'm driving to a campsite and the fridge has not been already in use for a day or so, then I buy a couple of blocks of ice to pre-cool the fridge and freezer until I get to the campsite then crank it up. Maybe it's a little easier on the fridge, maybe not.
At the campsite, I do run the propane heater when I'm there to supervise it, but turn it off otherwise. The fridge, I admit, does get left on at the campsite unattended. On the road we have a heat pump so we can run that, but we live in AZ, cold weather trips are a rarity.
I guess I could leave the gas on, but I like to do a pre-drive check which includes turning the propane off, so I do. But I can undestand the thinking behind the folks who decide to run with it on. We have one more bit of shared experience to help us make the decision to take a calculated risk. There are probably many more things that are more likely to fail which could also cause a catastrophe, but this is one risk I choose not to take.
