In theory when travelling the fridge will run on the TV power through the Bargman connector. In any use the fridge heater generates a lot of well, heat and that needs to be dissipated. The issue is that when the TM is closed up there is no airflow to dissipate the heat and certain things (like the counter over the fridge) can get quite hot. If closed and in a warm summer sun this can get worse.

So it is best to prechill the fridge on mains power for a day or two before leaving but also important to make sure the fridge is turned off completely (full clockwise & in 4 o'clock position, temp at 1)before storage particularly if the coach is powered to float the battery.

Personally I think gas absorption cooling is not only wierd but also very inefficient however is the only reasonable way to cool with propane.

ps now that I think on it, a thermostatic control on the fan would make a lot of sense.
