Hi, Paul & Carol!
As long as everything is secure- lids on, zip locks zipped, etc. there should be no problem. Just make sure it is closed and latched properly before rolling down the road. The 3-ways have a pin for this purpose and the 12V's have a latch that will stay put.
The only caution I might offer in 48,000 miles of travel with the 12V is to be sure that the latch closes the first time you reach any kind of altitude- say over 5-6,000ft. I found that the gasket around the door expends a bit and the door just doesn't always close and latch when you swing it shut. Stopping for a breather on an 11,000ft Colorado pass I was compelled to give a tour. I was a bit embarassed to find the newly purchased contents of the fridge all over the the interior and the fridge door flapping wide open. Nothing spilled (or spoiled- just came from the market) because I'm anal about the lid/zip thing and the cause was easily diagnosed at that altitude. Don't know if you will find this to be true of the 3-way. Just be sure it's shut!
Carry on!

We know we can keep the fridge turned on on when towing (set to battery power and turned off when stopping for a while), but we are concerned about leaving food in the fridge. Visions of a mess to clean up pop into our heads -- spilled milk, broken bottles of (fill in the blank). Even with our new shocks, there is apt to be some bouncing around.

Another might be leave the food in the fridge but pad it, as when one packs a box for mailing. Stuffing wadded newspaper or packing paper in the fridge occurred to me, but there may be a better solution. On the other hand, maybe the bounces from towing are not, on a practical level, a problem.
