I drove with the propane on for years until I researched propane fueled RV fires. Then I bought an older but unused 800W inverter on EBay for $55. It’s modified sine wave and works just fine running my fridge. Spent another $45 for an automatic transfer switch so my fridge will always be on electric power unless for some special reason I want to use propane. Also gives me another power source without starting the generator - if I should ever want one. Easy installation and why not run on the alternator while driving?!
