I adhere to propane fridge recommendations to keep the tilt of the fridge under 3 degrees from side to side (for driving a sideways installed fridge, that means front/rear RV incline on hills.) Because I typically drive in hilly areas, this means I turn the fridge off when driving. If you look at how a propane fridge is engineered, you’ll see that operating it out of spec can cause the fridge to overheat, stress the absorption tube, rupture, and possibly catch fire. If you have time to kill and are brave, search the archives here for all those discussions.
Suffice to say, I find it a small inconvenience for peace of mind- as the fridge stays plenty cold as long as you pre-chill or freeze things and don’t open it up on the road. Others will think it overly cautious. Ymmv. (and it’s all about the hills. Driving on the plains, fire it up!)
