Just throwing some ideas togethor if anyone ones to comment!

Setup:
Propane fridge by truck campershell window

Problem:
Needs to vent
Drive on the road at 70 mph without blowing out
Not let propane into the cabin

Solution:
Several completely flat cookie baking pans with holes size of a pencil cut into them, offset holes from one pan to another of course to slow the air down because it has to change direction, and spacers between the pans maybe 2 quarters thick or thicker?

From the fridge to the campershell so propane won't leak into the camper...those disposable jiffy thick metal turkey roasting trays and

Glue?
Tape?
Caulking?
Something propane leak proof and maybe not permanent

Thread is closed. From a Mentor discussion about your posts:

Sounds dangerous and probably illegal. In most places there are Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations in place that prohibit such things. For RVs the regulations state that gas appliance tank valves must be closed when the RV is moving.

Some fridges designed for RV use have triple energy capabilities: mains power, gas, and 12 V DC. The 12 V DC is intended for use while in motion, powered by the towing vehicle.
