Connected, yes.
Just don't rely on the gas valve on your appliance. If you leave it for a long time, you may come back to an empty bottle.

With the clip-on regulators, make sure the lever is in the 'gas off' position.

If its Campingaz then i'd say no because i keeps the valve on the top of the bottle open. But with the others i dont think it would be a problem. Just wondering which bit you are going to disconnect when storing travelling though?
