It may be legal to travel with the propane open but don't do it.  If there were to be an accident you would have an open gas source for a fire to feed on...BOOM!

Tens of thousands of RVers travel with propane on all the time.  Larger rigs, with larger fridges, don't even have a 12v option and must run on propane while travelling.

If travelling with propane on was a safety concern, RV manufacturers, afraid of lawsuits, would quite clearly communicate that propane must be turned off during travel; most likely some sort of idiot-proof interlock would be developed.  Governments would prohibit travelling with propane on.

I lived for 6 years traveling in a 38' diesel pusher.  My fridge ran off 12v, 110v and LP.  If you were to go to an Escapees Rally and go to the seminars you will be told exactly what I said.  Call your locale fire department and ask what they think.  If I remember right my owners manual for the motor home said to switch to 12v for traveling.
