Truck inverter to power camper fridge
Running fridge on AC from trucks inverter... Not a how-to, certainly not a recommendation- cut every corner I could with a ton of round to-its. Just what I concluded and installed...may or may not ...

Simply a matter of choice not using gas on the road. Many do-we don't.
Fridge behaves as designed.. To use AC fridge must be set to 'Auto'. What it actually does, being set to auto to use AC, is if AC unavailable (engine/inverter shut off) control tries to connect to gas. If propane off it cant and after a few attempts goes to 'check'. Once in check mode has to be reset. If AC restored before it searches for gas then goes to check it reconnects to AC. But that happens faster than reason for turning off engine IE fueling, eating lunch etc. Turning off 12v to control board when AC turned off keeps fridge from seeking alternate source.
As Kayteg1 asked about- if AC could be manually selected like gas or DC would be no issue.
