running Refrig on LP only or AUTO
We have a double door size Domentic Refrig in our 5th wheel - when dry camping (on beach with generator power only) - do we set the frig to Auto or do we keep it on LP Gas only?

Another reason you might want to keep it on gas mode is during periods of high outside temps. I have always thought that my fridges cooled better on gas than electric.
I believe the thermal output from the gas flame is higher than the 112V AC heater.

When we got our old Komfort in '04, that was pretty much the rule-of-thumb; running on gas cools better than electric. One time, I switched my fridge to gas while in a full-hookup when it seemed to not be working well, and it =did= cool better.
