Why do so many feel they need to run the fridge on propane when moving? What's wrong with 12v today? (don't compare to decades ago) Everyone I know has TT's right now, and not Class A's, but if our TT's can run the fridge on 12v when traveling, I don't see any reason why any Class A unit could not.
Not many RV refrigerators run the cooling system on 12v. They use 12v control circuits, and 12v power opens the LP valve. The electrical heating circuit is generally 120v.
I run with my fridge on. If it's really hot outside and I run the generator to power the AC, the fridge is on 120v. If I'm not running the genny, the fridge is on propane.
