Running the fridge while driving.
Just bought my first ever camper (Pop-Up) a few weeks ago, totally new to this. Reading over the manual for the refrigerator I notice that you can supposedly run the fridge from the 12V vehicle power ...

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the comments. I probably should have searched for this before I posted, but I was in a hurry, was trying to get done with work early so we could hit the road. This fridge is made to run on either LP, 120V, or 12V, it has the switches for all. From reading the replies I'm guessing the problem might be that the power hookup at the hitch is only the flat 4 wire. I was hoping maybe with the headlight/parking lights on perhaps it would get power. I'm guessing I would need a different power supply to get power to the fridge all the time?
I did start the fridge on LP about 30 minutes before we left the house, when we arrived at the campsite the flame had gone out, but we hadn't run out of LP. I'm hoping that maybe there was just some air in the lines, I should have checked it enroute. There are vents at the bottom and top where the fridge is, maybe the wind while driving can blow it out?
