On will it draw from the truck to run fridge yes if
Since you have a ford ensure the fuse and relay are installed to allow power from the alternator to get to pin 4, ford does not install them at the factory,
second as was mentioned earlier if you are loading the fridge before leaving as was said earlier, run it from shore to get everything cold before leaving. If you run the battery down the night before you hit the road and then try to run from 12 volt, your truck will not be able to recharge the battery AND run the fridge. There isnt enough charge power available and you will likely blow the fuse trying to do both.
