I start mine plugged into shore power on propane a couple of days before we load up. Then battery/propane on the road and shore power/propane at the campground. I've never seen one that runs on 12vdc alone.
The older RV fridge's all had that option of 3-way. You won't see many 3way fridges anymore for just that reason of how the batteries won't last very long and/or efficiency.
