Tell him to find a used propane fridge, and change it back to original. Im not sure how old you have to go to get the old style fridges and furnaces that had the pilot lights. They didn't require any 12 volt power at all, but you had to manually light them. Residential fridges don't work for boondocking unless you have a substantial investment in batteries and solar panels.
+1 Go to the local scrap yard and ask them to keep an eye out for somebody scrapping a camper. Offer them $20-$50 if you can remove the fridge after hooking up a battery and gas bottle to make sure it works.
