Many people will say leave the propane off while on the road period and others will say drive it without issue. Personally: We use the propane while on the road and turn off the fridge when at a gas pump--just remember to turn the fridge back on once you've left the pump.

2) Nope don't need the engine on at all to start the genny. Especially if you've been driving all day and your coach is wired correctly (typically the alternator will charge both the chassis and the house batteries).
This is correct however most tunnels and some bridges will ask you to close it. You're free to open again once cleared.

I never close at the gas pump but it's a VERY good idea. Open flame.
