I believe nowadays most RV fridges are 2-way. That means they only run off propane or electrical. If you are shutting off the propane when you drive, then the fridge has nothing to run on.
Thank you for your responses. Yes, I was told not to leave the gas on while driving, so if it is a two way frige, it only makes sense it won't cool while going down the road. I will follow up with a dealer when I can and confirm this.
Whether you drive with your propane on or off is a personal choice. People believe strongly both ways. For me, I normally drive 3-4 hours to a dry campground and then set up for 4-days. So, I cool the fridge on electric at home, then fill it with food. The day I depart, I unplug right before I leave and then turn on the propane as soon as I arrive at the campsite. I find the fridge stays cold during that travel time without issue. If I were traveling longer or several days in a row, then I would be more inclined to run the propane while I drive.
