I'm NOT saying you should drive with your fridge on propane but.... Some theories I have read that *might* be the cause of flame going out when driving: leak on combustion chamber, which includes intake gasket leak due to crack on intake bellow pipe sensor in combustion chamber malfunctioning (but of course that would likely show up even when not driving) other thoughts I've dreamed up or read of: flue (at exterior of van) incorrectly assembled really strong crosswinds Unless you have a leak somewhere that you should fix, I'd say run it on 12V while driving an enjoy!
