Mark, I do not remember reading that message, but
to answer your last questions...
If your furnace is anything like mine the pilot
light will blow out.
Safety issues. Many years ago most everyone
traveled with the propane tanks turned on so that things like the refrigerator
could run all the time. But now most people realize that this is asking for
trouble. An accident may cause a propane line to rupture, a lit pilot may ignite
it. A lit pilot at a gas station may be more hazardous than a lit cigarette. The
scenarios go on. They make sense.
Most people do not use their campers in sub
freezing temperatures, or if they do they have the water system winterized and
carry water in jugs so that freezing pipes are not a worry.
I am one of the few that I know of, that on
occasion, travels with the gas on, but these times are becoming fewer and fewer,
and are limited to very long travel days when I think that the refrigerator
would get too warm. You would be smart to heed the advice you got earlier, just
don't do it.
