Hello everyone.

We just traded from a sprinter class C to a Travato G class B.

We have the taller 3 way 12 volt/propane/electric fridge and I can't seem to get it to work on 12 volts? The other power sources work fine? Does anyone have any experience with a 3 way Fridge ? Can you start out the fridge on 12 Volts? Or does it need to start on electric or propane first for 12-24 hours?.

What do you mean by "I can't seem to get it to work..."? If you turn the selector to 12v and remove the lower vent cover, can you feel the chimney get warm/hot? It will take a few minutes before you can feel the heat. If it never heats up, you have a problem.

The 12 volt option is the weakest option and it is also not thermostatically controlled on your fridge but it does work and is useful for when you're driving, not for cooling the fridge down initially or when stopped. I use mine all the time while moving but I have it wired so that it will only work when the engine is on.
