Running Fridge on Battery in Transit

   When we first got our trailer the dealer told me that the most efficient way to run the fridge while in transit was propane.  We've had problems with the fridge in propane mode and have been using it in battery mode in transit instead lately.  My tow vehicle is not very powerful and towing in the heat of summer is straining my engine.  What I'd like to know is does anyone know if running the fridge on battery increases the strain on my engine significantly?  Thanks.
