My experience has been that the running the fridge
on DC keeps it plenty cold.  As a mattter-of-fact,
it tends to need to be defrosted when I check or
change back to propane.  Many times when I stop
I just leave it off if I'm going to be gone for
an hour or less.  I'll turn on the propane if I
think I'll be longer.  Never had any food spoil
on me and it's plenty cold...
