Having said that, it does draw a lot of current on 12V and it's not something that you would want to do while dry camping. Most people here tow with there fridge on 12V.
I am referring to the full size refrigerator with FREEZER that comes with the Elkmont not the much smaller fridge in the folding trailer, they are only half the size of ours. And the info I got was based on the model number and serial number. Perhaps TM uses the same manual for all their trailers. And my fridge does NOT have a selector switch for 12 VDC as indicated in the manual, only "AUTO or GAS".
