I just returned from an 8 day trip.
I used inverter "always on", powering the fridge in most cases
When I boon-docked for extended periods of time, I moved fridge switch to "gas-only"

The biggest challenge was remembering all the switching needed when starting and stopping from place to place.
That is...
Am I plugged into shore power?
Am I using propane now?
Does the inverter need to be in "on" position right now?

That said, one time I left inverter-on powering the fridge while boon-docking for several hours (no Chassis engine or Genny running).

And I didn't draw down the battery bank past the 3 lights on the battery monitor

The nice feature is that you save $$$ on propane once the fridge is up to temp.
