Your sunsets are occurring much later than the ones in Southeast Alaska. But, the light wakes me up at 4:00 am. Good question about the birds!

There is a great debate among all RVers about the subject. To be very safe, propane should be shut off. However, many folks leave it on, and that's what we've been doing for years. We try to remember to turn it off while filling up at gas stations, however.<br /><br />Many people who do turn off propane run their refrigerators on battery power while driving, since the alternator is charging the batteries. That's an alternative, but we would often forget to switch to propane when we stopped for sightseeing, etc. That can drain your batteries quickly. You might want to test out this option and hang some kind of reminder to yourself to make the switch.<br /><br />We will continue to leave the propane on, although we just found out that our new lithium batteries can run the refrigerator for a very long time.Sarahhttp://www.seewheretheroadleads.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345097719504582974.post-27535119950520376052015-05-20T08:47:16.142-08:002015-05-20T08:47:16.142-08:00Have bookmarked your blog so I can follow your Ala...Have bookmarked your blog so I can follow your Alaska trip. Great recaps. One off subject question though. We also have a sprinter van and our manual indicates the propane should be off while driving. You mentioned you mostly emptied your fridge knowing your propane would be off. Now to my question. Do you typically turn off your propane while driving and how do you keep your food cold.
