Sounds like the outdoor kitchen has a dorm-style fridge which is presumably electric only. I would keep everything in the propane/electric fridge if possible and run that on propane. Transfer what you need outside when you're hooked up to shore power. The generator will be using a lot of fuel to run that little fridge. As others mentioned you'll also find that stuff will stay cold in the fridge for a long time. I cool my fridge down a day before I leave, shut it off while I'm on the road, and fire it back up when I get where I'm going (so long as where I'm going is 3 hours away or less). When I do use the fridge on the road I use propane.
And, like others have said, there's no reason you can't run the generator while you're moving but the question is whether it's efficient to do so. I only run mine for the A/C, not the fridge. Although if I happen to be running the genny for the A/C I'll switch the fridge to electric.
