I talked with my buddy today about this matter; he told me that he always leaves the 'fridge running when he travels. He pointed out that with the vehicle full, and no further than he normally travels, he seldom has to refuel before he arrives, makes camp, and unhooks the 'burb. He doesn't feel that having the fridge running is dangerous. (but then he still likes to play with fireworks!)
