Hi Stu, There are no such things as stupid questions, only questions that have been answered 10 million times before and can be easily found in the archives: %-) http://halfdan.med.umn.edu:8853/misc/archives/vanagon.html You should switch the fridge off when you turn the van off, otherwise you will drain your battery. It's okay for a few hours, but it doesn't take long to strand you, and it's way too easy to forget that you have it on. I know, I've ruined a battery by repeated discharging cause I keep forgetting the thing is on. I have no problems running the propane while driving. In fact I prefer this method to running on 12V. Just remember to shut off the pilot when stopping for gas. Hope this helps! 'Greg '87 Vanagon GL Westfalia 'Govinda'

Okay...here's some stupid questions...
Should I leave the refrigerator on off of the battery during the summe? Or should I shut it off when I turn the van off...(I have been shutting it off) Can I use the propane for the refrigerator while driving?
