I would suggest that you cannot unplug from shore power and unplug your battery and run the fridge on just gas. If your fridge is like mine, I need 12V to the fridge to run it on gas. With neither battery or shore power you won't have 12v to the fridge.

I would leave shore power connected and disconnect the battery to charge it.

Sure others will chime in with helpful advice too.

Now that I actually think about it, you are correct. Thanks to others for the tips as well, especially about the possible converter damage. I will make sure not to ground the lead when I leave the shore power on. I have already blown a fuse today by over-extending the landing gear. Old-timer's disease is taking its toll, maybe I should go back to a tent or just check-in to the old folks home and pretend I'm camping!
