Can we travel with the fridge on propane? It takes forever to cool down.

Of course. Any 6 cu ft gas absorption fridge I've owned has cooled down quite well in about 5 hours, whether in electric mode or gas. Presumably you're aware you should never run the fridge with the trailer sitting much off level, otherwise you can easily damage it beyond repair. :M

When we went to leave the car hitch was now higher than the tongue on the trailer. Luckily a fellow camper helped us stand on the truck to get it down. How can we prevent this? The tongue Jack was fully extended.

I noticed some campers place all their tongue Jack's, stabilizers etc on blocks of some sort,. Is that a good idea?

I use a 4-stack under the tongue jack and stacking plastic blocks under each stabilizer to reduce extension to a reasonable amount, the only exception being a single piece of plywood under the tongue jack when we happen to be on a tongue low campsite.
