So I did actually get a hold of the demo person and he said that with our unit to plug the power cord into the receptacle in the back compartment and then set the refrigerator to "automatic" and it will know to use the electric as power source and charge our battery at same time. The frig can run off of LP gas or electric. Previously we had a travel trailer and always waited until we got to the site before powering up the refrigerator.
Set fridge to "automatic", definitely a 2 way RV fridge.
When you plug your shore power cord into the receptacle in the compartment, that is actually the generator output. You probably have the Onan 4000 in your MH. To have the fridge run on 120v , you would need to have the generator running, no need for that unless you want to run more heavy use 120v items, like the roof air.
