Running Fridge while traveling
So I want to keep the frozen food frozen while I'm on the road. Do I run the generator or run it on propane? Which do you think would be most economical?

Place fridge in 'AUTO' then and 'ON'
When 110V AC power is available it will operate on electric heater element and when 110V AC power is
lost' it will swap to propane for continued operation.

K.I.S.S. - Some will suggest your inviting armageddon by running it during your travels but that's what it's designed to do and there are millions who do so without any issues.
There are also those who will say it will hold it's temp for hours on end if it's turned off and not opened. My own experiment showed it warmed up substantially after only 2.5 hours in 70 degree weather. That makes sense, why else would it run 50% of the time if it didn't need to.
Good luck,

Buckle up, it could be a bumpy ride. I have a dozen links on the subject, but not relating to economy. You'll see. - propane
