Hi, I have a 1972 Jennings Roadranger Commer PB that I am restoring. I have the choice of two fridges that came out of caravans. One is a two way 12v / gas and the other is a three way 12v / 240v / gas. The van has had a 240v connection added (not by me!). The two way fridge is newer and better condition. The three way fridge looks more original as it has a wooden front, but the door seal has a two inch crack. My question is, is there a great advantage in having the three way fridge so I can utilise 240v hookups? I would like to use the newer fridge but on electric is only 12v, and it doesn't look so nice. Clearly the two way could be used from hookups via the 12v converter, but I have read that you don't have much control over cooling. I don't know which fridge to use! Any help would be very much appreciated - I am new to this! Tim Knight

Hi Jon, thanks for the advice, I'm glad you think the 3-way fridge is best idea, so far it is 2 votes to zero for 3-way (yours and mine!) Regards, Tim
