It gives me a good visual that lets me know that the freezer is working correctly and that the bottom is staying cool. If I really need the water bottles, it also gives me an emergency supply. I also take a three hour ferry ride on my trip south and the frozen water bottles help keep the fridge cold during the time the fridge is turned off. The water bottles also will not run all over the fridge and floor if everything melts.

I wanted an inverter anyway so I added the fridge to it. It has its own transfer switch so the fridge almost never uses propane. It’s on shore power or the inverter. Before I added the inverter I used propane while traveling with no fears and never turned it off at a gas station either. Do what makes you comfortable and don’t lose sleep over it.
