I have always used the LP system at it has worked great I would think the battery charge would be depleted significantly if you used it.

Hello, Fairly new to the RPOD world (at least from a usability standpoint). What is the best way to keep the fridge on while traveling longer distances? I'm thinking battery vs LP. Thoughts?

Thanks anyone for their consideration!

Traveling while using battery power is not recommended as this will usually drain your battery in a matter of hours.  You could upgrade the power line going from your TV to the Pod to prevent this, but it's not an easy or cheap fix.

Most folks here, including us, always run our refrigerator on propane while traveling and have never had any problem whatsoever.

A quick search will reveal extensive discussion about this issue.
