I have another fridge-related question. I am a new class B owner, and this has a (currently inoperable) 3-way fridge. While I contemplate replacing it, it strikes me that these fridges may not be the most convenient if one is driving and stopping a lot. If I understand how they operate, the fridge runs off the alternator when I'm driving. But once I stop, I would need to open the gas line and switch it to propane, is that right? Then I have to remember to switch it back and turn off the gas line when I start up again. This seems rather inconvenient to me. Can anyone speak to how well these fridges keep cool? Like if I park the van for a half-day hike, will it still be cool when I come back or would I need to turn on the propane? What about if I stop for a two-hour swim somewhere?
Would love to hear some thoughts on how these small Class B fridges perform and the complications of switching from one power source to another. It sounds like house batteries aren't an option (unless maybe you have solar?) due to the amount of power it draws. Thanks.
