Subject:Re: fridge wont stay lit

My fridge often goes out when I'm driving.  But then I realized that I could just switch to battery when driving, and it's fine and saves my propane.

Do some fridges not run on battery, or are you staying on propane because it's just for short trips and you don't want to hassle with relighting the propane when you stop?
