EDIT--using that link above, I went back as far as 1971 and they had "gas/electric combination" fridges as standard. Don't know the model for the fridge.
EDIT--the 1982s still say gas/electric combo, the 1983 says RM100.
seems to be a 3-way that uses 12v

Ref here to a 1976 RM100 in an Airstream

So that is 1976 for a "gas/electric combo" that was an RM 100 that does need 12v. Still don't have when that "modern" type of fridge started being made for Rvs
1303 is AES and DOES require 12 volt for operation
RM-100 is the old very good standard Dometic non battery model. DOES NOT REQUIRE 12 VOLTS TO OPERATE.
That is why it is important for the OP to state MODEL NUMBER. Doug
