Oh yes it is a good idea. We always do that especially in the warm weather, where we often hook the van up the night before at home (made an extra lead up) so it can be cooling down on mains. Then the food does stay colder.

We always cool the fridge down before we set off. That way when we arrive we or rather my wife can have a cup of tea, and me, a nice cold can of BUDDS!  before setting the awning up..

If your car is fitted with twin electrics you can tow with the fridge switched on, but make sure the internal switch is switched to battery and not mains. Also make sure the fridge lock is in position as you dont want the contents all over the interior.
