Gas to fridge while moving?

[Bryan2503S]

I don't think my camper fridge runs on 12v. I think most need AC power to run or Propane with 12v for the pilot.

I am new to the forum and popup camping. I am purchasing a 2007 Rockwood HW256. My question would be why would you not run the refrigerator on the 12v system while traveling and then switch to shore power or propane when you get to your destination? Since most people seem to run it on propane there must be a good reason.
Thanks.

Our PUP had the three way fridge which would run off 12v. However it was nearly as cold on 12v as it was on propane or 110v.

The fridge needs 12v system at all times. the controls need that. Propane runs the cooling systems. Electric (shore power) runs the cooling systems.

the point of the thread is running propane to run the fridge when traveling. Pros, runs the fridge and keeps things cold. Cons, there is a flame needed to burn the propane, which some think has the possibility causing a fire hazard from gas fumes when filling up the Tow Vehicle at a filling station.

sounds like a plus to me to have a three way.
