Cool, thanks! If it keeps the fridge from draining the battery while off propane I'll be happy!
If the wiring is factory on the TV and the TT it won't come even remotely close to keeping up with the fridge on 12v. You would need to change out the wiring to something several sizes large.

There isn't any reason to not just run the fridge on propane. That's how it's made to operate. Your refrigerator will run for several weeks if not months on one 20 pound tank under most conditions.
