Bill; That sure sounds like a 3-way RV fridge to me -- propane, 120VAC or 12VDC, lever selectable, doesn't use any electricity when run on propane except sometimes a light and temperature display/control. The small 3-ways I've dealt with tended to draw ~140W, but I guess it wouldn't surprise me if a larger model drew 350W on AC or DC, and they make some pretty large ones for the mobile palaces. Terribly inefficient when run electrically, it's just a heating element, but OK for the RV park where the electrical is free and from a pedestal. I've had to break that bad news to a few off-grid wannabees, unfortunately usually after they already bought one. Efficient electric fridges suitable for off-grid solar all use a compressor.
