When I'm driving do I run my fridge on propane or electric?
We will have 48 hr of boondocking so need the battery to last that long.

Yes with choices of Auto or Gas you have a 2 way refrigerator. While we like to debate and offer ideas and solutions, you have already answered your own question. You stated that you have already run for 4 days on Propane so you will easily make it two days.
Yes the refrigerator on gas does draw a small amount of power and your tow vehicle will easily keep up with that draw. You are not trying to charge the batteries from dead through the 7 blade adapter. You're using a tiny amount of 12v power to power the board in the back of the refrigerator. Your tow vehicle starter battery is sufficient for this and your alternator will charge that battery back up if it starts getting low.
Your refrigerator does not have the 12v battery draining option that people are referring to.
Charge the batteries before you leave for the trip. Turn all appliances onto propane. Go have fun.
