When I turn on my propane tank, I have to light a burner on my stovetop to clear the line before I switch the fridge to gas. After that, it works perfectly.

I do this too and it's good practice. This way you know the line is clear of air before things like the refer, water heater and in our case the generator try to start so they don't go into a lockout. Always surprised how long it takes for LP to make it's way to the stove.

you should only have to do that if you disconect/turn off both tanks and let it sit for quite a long time. this also would be an indication of a leak in the system if it is happening in a shorter period of time. I can take my tanks out of the 5th wheel for a month and put them back in and stuff will fire right up, in the camper not so much.. I have about a week. so redoing all the fittings will be on my list this winter.

The gas is lighting and the fridge is cooling on gas . I verified be " checking the temp of the fridge after being on electric for 48 hrs ( 36*. I then unplugged the fridge from the outlet . After 14 Jr's. Temp is still at 36 *.
But the green (120 volt ) indicator , stayed green the whole time . . Is this normal . Not according to the manul ( should be amber on gas.)
