Thanks for the messages: I did think of putting a wireless thermometer in the fridge, and now able to monitor it without opening it up and good idea about taking a cooler full of ice as well. I never thought of putting the fridge on 12 v but may do it. Would this not draw the battery down even whle towing. Thanks, Jim

Not as long as the wire from the tow vehicle supplies at least as much current as the refrigerator uses.

Information is good. Lack of information is not so good, but misinformation is much worse. Check facts, and apply common sense liberally.

You need a large wire to pull off running the fridge plus charging trailer battery - at least 10 gauge, 6 or 8 is better.
