Battery life, fridge only
Can I start the fridge on propane only a few days before hook ups, without running down the house battery?

Yes.
But as usual the true answer is it depends. There are more phantom loads on the battery than just the refrigerator. But typically a good battery will last about two weeks before going completely dead. If the battery is older it might not make it quite that long. If your battery is in fairly good shape though it should make it for at least a week.
What is your plan for recharging the battery after the two days? Are you relying on the tow vehicle to recharge it? Or are you getting an electrical hookup once you get to your destination?
