Dometic fridge auto switch

Been doing some interwebs searching and all I can find is recall info.

Here is my problem. I dont run down the road with gas turned on so when I unplug my trailer it switches over to gas. Since there is no gas turned on it tells me to check the gas. Fair enough. I would expect this. Now when i get to my destination and plug the trailer back in it will not switch back over to electric automatically. I have to go in and turn the fridge off and then back on. Then it will start up on electric.

This would not bother me one bit if I could get to the fridge with the slides in but I can not. When we get home I have to slide all 3 slides out just to turn the fridge back on and this is not acceptable.

    X2 Ran with the gas on for years. Turn it off when fueling then back on once we've pull away from the pumps more times than not but never an issue.
