I always fill the bottom of the freezer with water bottles (don’t tell my neighbors up here in Canada) when I first turn on the fridge before I start my trip. After freezing everything down using electric, I switch to propane. During my trip, I rotate a few frozen water bottles down into the fridge to help it cool and rotate them back to the freezer as they melt. 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.
