Three way refers died probably 15 years ago. Now days most all are two way, gas or 120VAC. 12VDC is required for control circuit. If yoy now what theirs was please post make and model.
Leisure Travel Van Free Spirit SS, a Class B Van motorhome (not a trailer.)
Maybe someone who owns an SS will weigh in here on their experience. The people we met were concerned about draining the house batteries while dry camping.
According to the Leisure web site, the Free Spirit SS - with the slide - has a 12V/120V - 4.8 Cu. Ft. Fridge/Freezer. (Brand not specified.)
I take that to mean for refrigeration you have to be on shore power or else run your fridge off the 12 volt battery system (or investigate solar.) Leisure offers in its options list: Solar Panel - 95 Watt.
For 2015, Free Spirit SS (with slide) will have a different floor plan (fridge moves across the aisle to the driver side) with Norcold 5.3 Cu. Ft 3 way 2 Door Refrigerator. Maybe buyers were asking for three-way.
Ours (non-slide Free Spirit) came with a 3-way Dometic refrigerator, like many Class Bs do. You can run it on 12-volt if you prefer when driving down the highway, switch to 120 when plugged in at a campsite, and switch to propane when dry camping or away a few hours. The fridge can run well a long time without using much propane.
Bob_Nestor, you are probably right that this model only ever had a two-way since it came out a couple of years ago. Maybe everybody else knew this, but I was surprised.
