I never did have a problem with my fridge while hooked up to a 30amp service but the past 2 months while camping in a remote area with a 1800w honda generator and propane i ran into a issue. We left one day and kept the fridge in auto to run on the propane. Came back and everything melted. Even tried again with the generator and no cooling. I removed the outside panel and when i removed the plug-in from the outlet then plugged it back in i did hear the generator die down so it has to be drawing power.

If I am getting the timeline correct, I think you just have an LP problem- probably simply need to clean the burner. Once you got back and turned the generator on, it would take 8 hours to cool again if it was full of warm food. The flame is so small on these that a 30% reduction in flame size isn't all that easy to see and judge, but it will stop cooling.
Otherwise, if the battery did die, that would of course shut the unit down.
