Don,
They are primarily worried about gas due to the leak/explosion risk.
A 12v electric fridge poses no risk so no problem.
We left ours on and no questions asked except about gas.

Hi Donk, Mark from
Ballina, done Tassie last year, absolutely fantastic, word of warning, NOT allowed to take fruit & veg across on Spirit'...PS NOT allowed to bring FIREARMS back from Tassie, searched our van & engine bay....we used all our fresh food in
Melbourne, got both fridges cold, were still cold in
Devonport, went to
IGA supermarket in
Penguin, or Woolworths in Wynyard if you get that far.....PS take your own food onto The Spirit, bit expensive...Maccas for early coffee in
Devonport...supermarkets were not open early. PS again, our trip highlights were
Ben Lomond NP/
Jacobs Ladder &
Bruny Island Cruise.........getting excited again,can we come too?
