Hmm, haven't I heard that "fridge on propane while driving" discussion
before?

Is that not why you can run your fridge on battery while driving?  Because
why drive with an open flame under your fridge when you don't have to?

Not to mention that on most people's vans it doesn't stay lit anyway!  As
indeed it probably shouldn't.
