I would do the same as Stingray.
And then I'd install a new propane line and a 3-way fridge. I bought mine on Craigslist for not a lot of money and my husband fixed the 12v (wired backwards) so it runs correctly on propane, 12v and 110v.
We run the 12v while driving so we don't have to stop and turn off propane at tunnels, then switch to propane as soon as we reach our destination. We cool it down via 110v before we leave.
Check your gas mileage when running the fridge on 12v versus not. You may be surprised.
When we first got to Fairbanks, we used the refrigerator in the motorhome, running between the cabin and motorhome to fetch milk and so on.
The morning after we hooked up the new (house-type) propane refrigerator, an unopened gallon of milk was frozen solid. For the first few weeks, the kids were turning the fridge thermostat down because "our sodas aren't cold enough." Then they'd complain in the morning because the milk for their cereal had ice crystals in it. (Well, duh?)
