You normally will turn your fridge the day before your trip on propane or 120v to get it cold. You will keep it running on propane during your trip and any stops where no facilities are available. When set on automatic, the fridge will always operate on propane when 120v is not available. You can always make it propane only manually if needed.

This is exactly what we do. I plug the rig in a couple of days before we leave and take my time loading. I keep the fridge on "4" (5 is the coldest). When we leave, the fridge which is set on auto, clicks over to propane. While driving I keep the fridge on "2" to conserve propane if possible. I've never had ice melt or anything get warm. When we hook back up at the rv park, set it back to 4.
