efficiency/effectiveness
I have a Pleasureway Ascent with a 3 way fridge in it. Can some one tell me if it will be "colder" when set on propane or 12v battery? This is while keeping the settings the same. Thanks.

Not all that much to go on. I was able to see that a Pleasureway Ascent is a Sprinter based Class B motorhome. OK, but their website doesn't tell us which fridge it has. That said, since it's a motorhome (as opposed to a small camping trailer, popup, A-Liner, Hybrid, etc. Rather a Fridge that runs on a 120VAC heater (powered by Shore Tie, Generator, or Inverter), an LPG Burner, or a 12VDC heater that should only work when the Sprinter's road engine is running. So if it's wired correctly, only the 120VAC and LPG options are available when the Sprinter isn't running. Try to use "battery" overnight and you actually should get NO cooling.
BUT!!! Remember this: Most RV fridges like Norcold N6xx and Dometic RM26xx use 12VDC to CONTROL the 120VAC and the LPG modes. If your Coach/House battery is down (probably 10-11VDC or less), it won't activate the 120VAC element or the LPG burner.
www.bryantrv.com has a lot of tech documents to help with troubleshooting, but you have to know the appliance Make and Model.
