For the small amount of propane that is used I won't bother with 12v operation while traveling.
Probably a consideration for those uncomfortable w the flame. It's a personal choice that I haven't considered yet so really haven't formed an opinion.
Unless it's a really long travel day in hot weather...just turn off the fridge.
For a 3-4hr drive, things will still be cold when you arrive and turn the fridge back on.
It's really a solution in search of a problem.
The only power supply to the 12 element of my fridge is the "charge" line from TV. We always camp with power, so the fridge is on 120 most of time. I'm working to hook a 1 lb bottle to the fridge so I could light it on the rare occasion we spend time stopped while traveling.
BTW, I turn my fridge on 12 V, drive 4 hrs, and inside temp will be 30*+ below outside temp. when we set up.
OP, I think if I was setting up a rig to wild camped I would look long and hard at a 12V compressor fridge. And go with the chest type, so your cold air doesn't run out on the floor every time you open the door. From what I have seen it doesn't take a lot of solar/battery to run them
