I am NOT cautioning you. I am telling you the plain facts. OLDER Model Norcolds/Dometics/Servel/Sibir refer's used MANUAL controls to operate the LP and 120 function. NO 12 volts needed. Current RV refers require 12 volts to operate BOTH LP and 120. So, if you did go the NEW refer route you would have to get that 120 to 12 volt converter. BTW, Leisure RV in Winkler, Manitoba drives all their factory parts warranty and Customer Pay across the USA border to ship to USA Dealers. Saves them a bundle on UPS charges. Doug

About the 12 V.
You mentioned new fridges require 12V to operate BOTH LP and 120V.
What about for my situation where I will NEVER use gas?
If I never use gas would I need 12V for the 120V?
Thanks for the tip on Leisure RV.
As Doug said, new refrigerators require 12V to operator on either 12V or 120V. The electronics card is powered by 12V & controls the temperature.
