Nonsense!   I'm speaking from 20+ years of experience and the 12V works
just fine when
you're on the move and save propane for when you really need it.  Keeps the
fridge plenty
cools, sometimes too cool when driving.   If I stop for less than an hour I
just leave it off and
let it run when I drive off again.   No problem with it at all.   To the
nay-sayers I say Bah!  You
just don't know what you are doing....
