Hey Guy, thanks for reaching out!

The Norcold RV Mini Fridge w/ Built-In Freezer # NC37VR you were looking at is about the size you're wanting, but I'm not sure if I understand what you mean by 2 or 3 way fridge/freezer? Could you expand on that a little for me?

@JonG Looks like Guy B never answered you. I'll answer your question. 2 and 3 way refridgerators refer to methods of causing the cooling cycle to activate. They are commonly refering to the old technology style of absorbtion refridgeration in which the cooling cycle is an alcohol solution. Amonia is involved somewhere along the line I think. The cooling cycle activates by way of a heat source. Usually it is a small propane flame. Great for long term boondocking. A second heat source is a 110 volt heating element (2 way) and the third source is a 12 volt heating element (3 way). 110 volt is great as you never run out of electricity if you are plugged into hookups. 12 volt is only good if you are traveling down the highway because they drain a battery in a hurry. That feature allows you to turn off the propane flame for safety at gas stations, etc. These types are getting harder to find as newer technologies (low draw 12 volt mini compressors) are becoming more common, especially with bigger RV battery banks and solar charging systems. Off grid homes too with solar charging of 12 volt battery banks. Hope this helps.
