I think the majority of us do run the fridge on propane while on the road. But if you plug in early enough and get the fridge thoroughly cold, load all your cold food stuff, then don't open the fridge door until you arrive, all should still be cold enough to not have any thing spoil even if the fridge is off during the trip.
If you have never done the propane thing before, you will probably need light a burner on the stove to get propane to fill the pipes before the fridge will reliably run on propane. Once a burner lights, you can turn it off and then try the fridge on propane. It should light off on propane in the first 2-3 tries.
Whether you turn off the fridge/propane while refueling is a subject long debated. Much like religion and politics, a debate well worth avoiding.
