I fervently hope that the refrigerator is not that sensitive to low voltage. When boondocking, the voltage will drop to below 11 volts, expecially during higher loads (several lights on, running an inverter for tv or Microwave, etc.) My old TT referigerator was known to be happy down to at least 10.5 volts.

I will suggest that you perhaps didn't cycle the refrigerator enough times to get the propane to the burner. I can take several tries after an extended period with the propane tanks shut off. It seems that the propane leaks out of the plumbing over time.

One thing that I do is to light the stove top burners as they would purge quite a lot of the plumbing (being much bigger burners). Then the refrigerator didn't have quite so much to purge itself. On my Monty, the furnace is right under the refrigerator. If yours is also, you could also try lighting the furnace before the refrigerator just until it lights. Since it is also a MUCH bigger burner, it would also help with the bulk plumbing purge. Then when you try to light the refrigerator, it should only take a couple of cycles to do the trick.
