Just picked up our 182G and are getting acquainted with it.  I'm curious about running the fridge while driving.  I've heard conflicting things about running the fridge of 12V battery power while driving.  Some say my tow vehicle should be able to keep the R Pod battery charged while it runs the fridge, and others say the fridge will draw faster than my tow vehicle can charge, leading to a dead battery after several hours.  While technically possible, running the fridge on propane while driving doesn't seem to be a good idea and was clearly discouraged from the dealer.  

Any experience with this?  Suggestions?  Besides a big cooler and lots of ice?  

Thanks!
