Does anyone do it ?

I would think very risky what would be your chances of getting out in one piece if you had a collision and had a fire

Chausson say never travel with the gas on and rely on the crash shut off valve, so I don't
Only takes 15 minutes to heat up the water anyway, so not necessary
The C6002 is fan flued and can be used on the move providing you have the Secumotion regulator which has a crash sensor and either the pigtails with safety rupture valve or bottles with built in anti rupture valves. Otherwise please don't do it for your own & others safety.I have a trumatic C6002 EH and as far as I can see there is no removable cowl.
I'm sure it will be ok then
Thank you for your replies

The motorhome is further prepared for use by positioning the
gas bottles (PROPANE only) in an externally-accessed watertight
locker. Gas bottles must be turned off when vehicle is in motion.
When driving, gas cylinders must be closed.
Pictograms are placed in the appropriate location to
remind you of this.
- It is forbidden to run the refrigerator on gas when travelling. If there should be a fire following an accident this could cause an
explosion.
All appliances operating on gas must not be used unless
the vehicle is stopped. (parked vehicle).
I take the points made, and I can only quote from the Chausson manual here:

People will obviously do as they please, but that is what it says in the manual which reassures me regarding safety, my fridge works fine off the battery, and it only takes 15-20 minutes to get as much hot water as we need once we have stopped (and turned the gas on).

Good work on forgetting the anniversary. 35 man points and only punishment shopping. Good effort.Joke taken in good spirit mate. Chausson use the same heaters and fridges as everyone else, so perhaps those of us with more modern vehicles are subject to more 'elf and safety warnings (just a dig)
The quotes were taken from various parts of the manual I uploaded, different references on different pages. Probably is just 'elf and safety guff, but I don't need the gas on whilst travelling, so rude to just ignore it.
Yes, it does have the collision detection system, it is just over 12 months old from new
The way I see it, if you have to turn gas off for ferries and whilst refuelling, why bother turning it on until you park up? Especially as my fridge works great on battery, the hab heater is diesel and the water heater can scald a hot thing in minutes (perhaps because they're new?)
Now I know someone is going to say they never turn off their gas on a ferry or in the channel tunnel, but I'll leave everyone else to tear them to shreds as I am being dragged off punishment shopping (forgot anniversary yesterday)

Great idea!I don't get punishment shopping by permanently wearing outrageous clothing which she wouldn't be seen with me wearing
My AT Dakota will not allow anything but battery to fridge with engine running.

The battery (or 12v system) should keep the fridge cool while driving.We use the gas more for the fridge. More efficient than the battery...
Never tried it, but as you have to remove vent cover i think the wind would blow the flame out or blow fumes into m/home.
