A problem with travelling with the 3-way refrig on LP is that if a wind gust should 'blow out the pilot light' is that it continues to 'click' until you stop next and restart the refrig - that could be 100 or so miles down the road. This could become a problem over time.
And, if the 'pilot light does blow out,' your refrig will start to warm up, possibly putting some of your food items in jeopardy.
Once your 3 way refrig has cooled, either by electric or LP, running it on the battery maintains the 'cool' via the car and T@B batteries. And you don't have to turn off the LP feature when filling up your vehicle at the gas station.
