Okay, now I'm totally confused. Concerning leaving the refrigerator on while in transit, everything I've read about safety says to turn off the propane before pulling into a fuel stop. This does not sound very convenient to me.

To avoid this, can't the refrigerator run off the battery the whole time while in transit? Our fridge has two "on" buttons, one is "gas" (propane) and the other is "auto," which I'm assuming switches it automatically from propane to battery power. Is this correct, or am I missing something here?

So, if this is correct, why can't the fridge be on "auto" while traveling with the propane off the entire time?
