Most people use propane mode while traveling down the road.Trailer life Magazine even did a unofficial survey years ago. The problem is ,theoretically, when refueling at a gas station the small open flame could cause a problem.....big Boom. I personally have never heard of that happening.I'm sure it would make the 5 o'clock news. If in doubt just turn off the fridge as you refuel.I try to fill my tank before we hook up.
