Not safe to have gas on when driving. No need with 12v and a safety risk in the event of a collision etc. (If you have an autoshut off device on your gas supply, it may be OK but I don't know how good they are).

Apart from the above you will supply too much heat. You'll find your fridge will dislike that just as much as too little.

My gas is never off... I do have a 5g safety crash shut-off... But I don't run fridge on gas whilst driving...

As it would be pointless... If 12v available IMO

And a tad dodgy if stopping for fuel... That is why it takes 15mins to switch back to gas from 12v.. When you stop.... (AES fridge/freezer) To allow for diesel filling etc..

If you have an AES fridge (Automatic Energy Selection) you can't run two power sources at the same time.
If gas is present it will over-ride 12v.

I don't have AES in my old bus - but even with my jurassic fridge you can't run both, have to turn the knob to select 240v, 12v or gas.

On our AES 12 volt will override gas.

Same as ours.. In fact never had one that works the other way round..
Order of self selecting preference is
240v then gas
or
if the engine is started 12v to maintain what ever temperature the fridge / freezer is at

My guess - if you do that... It'll not be both.... Just one or tuther... :)

In my van it all happens automatically. Gas when stationary,12 volt when on the move, and 240 volts when on electrical hook up. I don't have to touch anything other than switch it to auto.
