The noise was probably the little automatic fan on the back of the
fridge. It comes on whenever it gets too warm behind the fridge. The
fans wear out and often get noisy before they die completely. The fan is
very important to get the best cooling and prevent damage from
overheating.

We made it back under our own power so lets just say that the trip will be considered a success :)   kind of like any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.....   one of the things that went wrong was with the fridge, we were running it on propane while driving, and it began making noise, like it was boiling over.  So we shut it down for a half hour and then restarted it.  Well it did it another couple times and it got to be annoying to go back and shut the thing off but we kept on shutting it off for fear of hurting something.  We have used this fridge alot while driving before and never had this problem.   What causes the noise and would we have hurt it if we had just left it on and kept driving.  We continued to use the fridge and it never gave us any problem on our nice level camping sites.
