For some reason, you are not stating the make and year of your TT, or if the fridge has an auto position on the switch. Care to elaborate on this?
Regardless, the fridge with not automatically go cold when she plugs it in after an 8 hour trip, so add more to the amount of time your food will not be at a safe temp.
It's not rocket science - turn on the propane, then turn on the big stove top burner and spark it until it lights. This is to bleed air that will be in the line.
Set your fridge to Auto and unplug it. You will hear click-click-click until the pilot lights. If it fails to light, the light on the fridge will blink. Turn to off then try again. It will most likely work the first time.
If you don't want to do that, then my advice is to store your food for the 8 hour trip in a cooler with block ice - make it yourself out of half gallon milk cartons.
