Some older refrigerators operated on 110 Va/c, 12 DCv and propane, those had the disadvantage that they would run the house battery down very fast, so the manufacturer decided that only 110 Va/c and propane where a better deal.
Today all are 110Va/c and propane and they can switch from one source to the other so long as the house battery is conected.

When you had a 3 way RV refer, the refer was and is not designed to COOL DOWN on 12 volt heat Element. Never was. The 12 volt Heat Element was for In Transit operation to MAINTAIN the existing cold in the refer. In the 1980's Dometic came out with the AES control system for the 3 way refers. You had an Ignition activation controlled wire to activate the 12 volt element. This Ignition wire was optional. NO Ignition wire with 12 volts, then the 12 volt element would not activate. With a Motorhome, you ran a 12 volt wire from the ignition side to the refer. With a Towable, you ran the Ignition wire from the Tow vehicle thru the CENTER post of the 7 way Bargman tow plug to the refer. 3 way refer's now, they just make YOU understand that you must have the Engine running when you engage the 12 volt heat Element.
