Has anyone ever figured out how to fix the problem of the fridge blowing out when traveling?  If so what did you do to fix it?

On a recent 14 hour trip:
-Used 120v to get the fridge cold (24hours)
     *freeze everything that will go in the freezer beforehand

-switched over to propane as we headed out on the road
     *checked burner light periodically and it stayed lit the whole trip

-switched back over to 120v once we arrived at campground

We did not have any issues with burner blowing out traveling 65mph. Fridge stayed as cold as when we had it on 120v.

^ This is what we do and found good luck.  Precool Fridge, freeze everything you can, tow on propane.
