Correct.
The battery 12vdc is needed for the fridge's control panel, it will not run, nor stay on if not present.
Plug in or generator use, and converter supplies it, otherwise yes, use switch to "use" position (batteries connected), auto selected, propane valve open.
Sometimes the propane line needs purged of air, light the stove for half a minute.
I found ours needed about 2 days to pre-cool down to my desired coolness before traveling.
Oh, and some tunnels require gas to be turned off before passing through, I think Chesapeak Bay Bridge Tunnel for one!
And you may find the radio relies on that cabin power too.
