3 way fridges are really nice as you can use the 12 volt setting to keep it cool while driving down the road (the engine's alternator doing the work). Very few new units come with 3 ways and because of that you have to use propane when driving unless you have an big enough 12 volt DC to 120 VAC inverter that can handle the load of the 120 volt setting.
Yes my other RV a class-c frig only has two ways, lpg or electric. This one apparently is a three-way according to it's dial.
It also has a small furnace of which I'm not certain the fan's amps. Some RV furnace fans drain batteries while off-grid. If so then it's better to have a convection heater that doesn't require any electric to operate. I have a Mr Heater I've used inside a RV in the past, supplies plenty of heat and doesn't drain the house batteries.
