Hi Keith,

     The list seems divided about whether or not one should drive while running
the fridge on propane.
I followed a thread this spring that debated this issue and decided that I would
-- if I could, but I can't ( at
least not for long). Speaking of long --- I don't have any extension cord long
enough to drive with the
fridge on AC as you suggest :-) Apparently there are problems with DC as well
--- every time you shut
your engine down you lose colling for a half hour or so.  The listees who do
drive with the propane going
seem to be able to do it without the homemade baffle that you suggest. I'm
hoping, with the aid of the list,
that I can do the same.
