Does my fridge have 12v?

Trying to see if my fridge works on 12v in addition to propane and shore power? The tag inside the fridge says 12v- 1.8amps- 22 Watts.

12V and propane, or 120VAC. The fridge needs propane and 12VDC to function. The 12V operates the control board and starts burner. On 120V the burner and propane are not used to heat the cooling system, but electric heating elements are.

You can find Norcold manuals here under Tools/Owner Manuals/Appliances/Refrigerator/Norcold : https://manuals.heartlandowners.org/?man=/Appliances/Refrigerator/Norcold

There are RV's with refrigerators that run only on 12v. We had a Coleman Tent trailer a long time ago, that had a "3 way" refrig....fortunately, the Heartland RV don't use them.

Problem with those is they will BURN through a battery in no time. I think we used battery only power once for a few hours when we ran out of propane and I had to drive to town to refill the propane tank.
