Question:

I’m just starting research for a RV fridge. Will any of your models work on propane and/or electricity? Thanks

That’s a great question and a really good place to start when looking at RV refrigerators.

We actually don’t carry propane and electric dual power fridges at this time. Most of the refrigerators we offer now are 12 volt compressor style units, which run off your RV battery system and shore power. That’s become the more common direction in newer RV setups since they cool faster and don’t require propane.

Dual power fridges that run on propane and electric are still out there, but they’re typically found through brands like Dometic or Norcold and aren’t part of our current lineup.

A good starting point is thinking about how you plan to use your RV. If you’ll be off grid a lot and don’t want to rely on battery capacity, a propane option from another supplier may make sense. If you’ve got a solid battery setup or plan to stay plugged in, the 12 volt fridges we carry are a really reliable and simple solution.

If you want, I can help you narrow down a good option based on your RV size and how you like to camp.
