Leaving rig unattended with propane reefer on?

New guy here. 1999 Santara Class C. I'm about to go on my first overnight shakedown cruise. I'd like the refrigerator to be cold when I start out. The rig is parked at a storage facility nearby...

Turn it on. No problem. We keep our camper plugged in 24x7 (at home) and keep the propane tank on 24x7. We use the refrigerator in the camper as a back-up, extra refrigerator all the time. In the event of power outages, which does happen occasionally where we live, the gas will flip on and keep it cold. Been doing this for over 10 years now.
