Some anecdotal observations . . .
For a while, I would turn off the propane before crossing the bridge between Canada and the US . . . although, there is no sign requiring this, like there is for tunnels. Entrance in to the US goes through thermal (and who knows what else) full vehicle scanners. Then, I forgot to turn off the propane ! No comment at the booth. We have now crossed the border many times in both directions with the fridge operating on propane.
Since I drive a gasoline truck, I am very cautious around refueling. If the trailer is "way back there" and no where near the pumps, I will leave the fridge on. If anywhere near the pumps, I shut the fridge off. Fueling one time across from another trailer, I can hear the ignitor clicking on the back of his fridge right beside the gasoline pump. I yell to the owner that his fridge is on. He replies "no problem . . . I turned off the propane" . . . which was why the igniter was trying to ignite something. The point being that if you turn off the propane, turn off the fridge too.
