Our first TT had a propane only fridge, when we got rid of the trailer it was nearing 20 years old, and the fridge ran just as good as the day we got the TT. We just got rid of the dam residential fridge in our current MH that was put there by the POs and I plan on running it on propane all the time. If we run out of propane it will run on 12 DC till we get refilled again. I have no intention of using 120 volts unless absolutely necessary.
Which frig will run on 12v DC only? Not saying they don't make them but only ones I know of run on propane or 120v AC. 12v DC is used to for the controls only.
Dometic and Norcold have both made LP/120VAC/12VDC operated units over the years, although they only make the 3-way 12VDC capable models in the smaller sizes currently. The larger sizes do still need 12VDC for the controls, regardless of which heat source they use. There are also a few 120VAC/12VDC powered Freon compressor cooled fridges available.
