Can a Norcold 3 way fridge be made to run with no battery?

Hello, my husband and I just bought a vintage camper that has no power system at all. Is there any way to use a norcold n410 3 way refridgerator without having any type of battery/power system? Thanks!!

    No. the 3-way fridge needs the 12V`s for the operating system. you could wire in a small 12V battery that would power it, but you will need a way to charge it.
